Differentiating Types of Verb Particle Constructions
Jon David Patrick, Jeremy Fletcher · 2004
A verb particle construction (VPC) classification scheme gleaned from linguistic sources has been used to assess its usefulness for identifying issues in decomposability. Linguistic sources have also been used to inform the features suitable for use in building an automatic classifier for the scheme with a series of good performance results. The notions of how to define the task of computing phrasal verbs are discussed and new proposals are presented. 1
