Summary
Automatic natural language processing systems require dictionaries of compound words in order to recognize these words when analyzing text automatically. This article presents the electronic dictionary of compound words in Modern Greek. This morphological dictionary contains around 28þ000 entries associated with a flexional code and filters. The flexional codes are used to describe flexional vectors, the presence of variants or accent displacements. The filters are used to describe the inflection of the words (simple or compound), meaning the cases or genders allowed in order to obtain every possible form of the word. This study is part of the work carried out jointly by the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki and Marne-la-Vallée University with a view to developing a complete and formalized description of the Greek language.
International audienceWe report experiments about the syntactic variations of support verb constructions, a special type of multiword expressions (MWEs) containing predicative nouns. In these expressions, the noun can occur with or without the verb, with no clear-cut semantic difference. We extracted from a large French corpus a set of examples of the two situations and derived statistical results from these data. The extraction involved large-coverage language resources and finite-state techniques. The results show that, most frequently, predicative nouns occur without a support verb. This fact has consequences on methods of extracting or recognising MWEs.Nous relatons des expériences sur les variations syntaxiques de constructions à verbe support, un type spécial d'expressions multi-mots (MWE) qui comportent des noms prédicatifs. Dans ces expressions, le nom peut apparaître avec ou sans le verbe, sans différence sémantique saillante. Nous avons extrait d'un vaste corpus de textes français un ensemble d'exemples des deux situations et nous avons tiré de ces données des résultats statistiques. L'extraction a mis en jeu des ressources linguistiques d'une couverture étendue et des techniques issues de la théorie des automates. Les résultats montrent que, la plupart du temps, les noms prédicatifs apparaissent sans verbe support. Ce fait a des conséquences sur les méthodes d'extraction et de reconnaissance de MWE
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
