My Case, For an Adposition: Lexical Polysemy of Adpositions and Case Markers in Finnish and Latin
Proceedings of the Thirteenth International Conference on Language Resources and Evaluation (LREC 2022)
Abstract
Adpositions and case markers contain a high degree of polysemy and participate in unique semantic role configurations. We present a novel application of the SNACS supersense hierarchy to Finnish and Latin data by manually annotating adposition and case marker tokens in Finnish and Latin translations of Chapters IV-V of Le Petit Prince (The Little Prince). We evaluate the computational validity of the semantic role annotation categories by grouping raw, contextualized Multilingual BERT embeddings using k-means clustering.
