Prague Dependency Treebank 1.0 CD-ROM PRESENTATION Dec 18, 2000 Functional Generative Description

Prague Dependency Treebank 1.0 Functional Generative Description ztheoretical framework based on the findings of European structural linguistics, esp. of the classical Prague School zmethodological requirements of a formal description zlevels: ytectogrammatical (underlying) representations (TRs) with dependency based syntax ymorphemics yphonemics and phonetics  TRs (see Sgall, Hajičová and Panevová 1986, formally specified by Petkevič, also in a declarative way)

Prague Dependency Treebank 1.0 Dependency tree My younger brother arrived there yesterday. Linearized form, one-to-one relation: ((I) Appurt (younger) Rstr brother) Act arrive.Pret.Indic ( Dir there) ( Temp yesterday)

Prague Dependency Treebank 1.0 Dependency Tree zlabels - lexical meanings (abstract symbols) with indices yfunctors xsubscripts at parentheses oriented towards head y grammatemes - values of morphological categories x Tense, Modality, Number, Definiteness, etc. zprojectivity zvalency yarguments (inner participants) and adjuncts (circumstantials or 'free modifications') yobligatory and optional with a given head, ydeletable or not

Prague Dependency Treebank 1.0 Dependency Tree zparticipants (arguments) of verbs yActor/Bearer (underlying subject) yObjective (Patient, underlying direct object) yAddressee (underlying indirect object) yEffect ('second' object: to choose so. as sth.) yOrigin (to make sth. out of sth.) zadjuncts yLocative, several Directional and Temporal modifications yCondition, Means, Manner, etc.

Prague Dependency Treebank 1.0 Dependency Tree zinner participants yMaterial (Partitive) two baskets of sth. yIdentity the river Danube; the notion of operator z free modifications yPossession (Appurtenance) my table; Jim's brother yRestrictive rich man yDescriptive the Swedes, who are a Scandinavian nation Complementations dependent mainly on nouns

Prague Dependency Treebank 1.0 Dependency Tree zsyntactic grammatemes yLoc, Dir - in, on, under, between... y Regard - with, without zoperational (testable) criteria yfor distinguishing xarguments from adjuncts, xfrom each other y deletability (dialogue test)

Prague Dependency Treebank 1.0 Simplified valency frames yread V Act Addr Obj ychange V Act Obj Orig Eff ygive V Act Addr Obj ybrother N Appurt yman N yglass N Material yfull A Material obligatory complementations in blue

Prague Dependency Treebank 1.0 Topic-focus articulation z contextual boundness ymain verb CB/NB (T/F) ydependents to the left/right z communicative dynamism yleft-right (mother, sisters, transitive) ypartial ordering z underlying word order yleft-right ylinear ordering left-to-right order of nodes together with the index T or (prototypically) F indicates the TFA of the sentence (of the TR) young there T

Prague Dependency Treebank 1.0 Topic-focus articulation z TFA - one of the basic aspects of underlying structures young there T yesterday F

Prague Dependency Treebank 1.0 Complex sentence z a subordinated (dependent) clause (i.e. its main verb) depends on a word contained in its governing clause My brother, whom you know, arrived there yesterday.

Prague Dependency Treebank 1.0 Complex sentence z function words (synsemantic) are viewed as function morphemes, syntactically fixed to certain lexical (autosemantic) words - prepositions and articles to nouns, conjunctions and auxiliaries to verbs Martin came there late, since he had to accompany his sick mother.

Prague Dependency Treebank 1.0 Complex sentence Martin arrived late to the session, since he had to accompany his sick mother. schematically (morphemes): Martin arrive.ed late to the session since he have.ed to accompany he.s sick mother. dot - close connection of morphemes ('semes')

Prague Dependency Treebank 1.0 zdeleted items restored yorder of items - difference between 'underlying' and surface (morphemic) word order ytransductive components - Panevová, Oliva, Borota zcoordination (multidimensional) yJim and Mary, who have two children, went to Boston. ythe linearized notation is adequate: y((Jim Mary) Conj ((who) Act have ( Pat (two) Rstr children))) Act went ( Dir Boston) zstructures close to Boolean, i.e. no complex 'innate properties' specific for natural language are needed.

Prague Dependency Treebank 1.0 Prague Dependency Treebank - corpus annotation zan intermediate level - 'analytical' representations ydependency trees, not always projective ynodes for all word tokens, even for punctuation marks ztectogrammmatical tree: coordinating conjunction as the head

Prague Dependency Treebank 1.0 Two stages (chronologically) z(A) manual „analytic“ annotation (ATS) ytraining data for (B)(a) z(B) y(a) semiautomatic procedure (Collin‘s parser) y(b) manual correcting of (B)(a)

Prague Dependency Treebank 1.0 Constraints and limitations zno missing nodes (on the surface) can be added yanalytic funtion Ex_D is used zrelations between semi-automatic and manual procedure y80% edges are established correctly automatically
