Acquisition for Chinese English subcategorization relations
Han Xi-wu · Computer Engineering and Applications Journal · 2008
Research on verb subcategorization and its acquisition has achieved a lot for single languages,such as English and Chinese,whereas the cross-lingual subcategorization demands more systematic efforts.This paper describes a systematic experiment of statistical analysis and acquisition for bilingual subcategorization relations based on Chinese-English parallel corpus.First,sentence pairs with possible parallel predicates are extracted.Then,654 bilingual basic types of subcategorization frames are acquired by means of the two-fold MLE filtering method.Analysis on the results show that the acquired bilingual subcategorization frames are statistically and syntactically compatible.
