Detecting Compositionality of English Verb-Particle Constructions using Semantic Similarity
Sihyun Kim, Timothy J. Baldwin · 2007
We present a novel method for detecting the compositionality of English verbparticle constructions (VPCs), based on the assumption that compositionality can be modelled with semantic similarity between VPCs and their base verb in isolation. We also evaluate the contribution of components in compositional VPCs using semantic overlap. 1
