Using prepositions to extend a verb lexicon

Published:06 May 2004Publication History

ABSTRACT

This paper presents a detailed account of prepositional mismatch between our handcrafted verb lexicon and a semantically annotated corpus. The analysis of these mismatches allows us to refine the lexicon and to create a more robust resource capable of better semantic predictions based on the verb-preposition relations.
