Transformed Subcategorization Frames in Chunk Parsing

Proceedings of the Third International Conference on Language Resources and Evaluation (LREC 2002)

Abstract

This paper describes an approach to treebank development which relies on the manual development of annotation tools. The overall process of tree annotation is described, and a special emphasis is put on the description of the last tool which has been built, i.e. a dependency-based robust chunk parser. The modularization of the parser and the central role of verbal subcategorization is presented. The first experimental results, carried out on a corpus of 645 sentences are reported and discussed.
