Challenges in Augmenting Language Corpora with Syntactic Information: A Focus on Bulgarian Verbs
Introduction
The creation of language corpora enriched with linguistic information occurs in an environment where researchers grapple with the interaction between paradigmatic knowledge representation and the syntagmatic properties of real-life language usage. This challenge becomes particularly evident in the initial stages of developing a syntactic treebank, where morphosyntactic annotation and shallow parsing intersect Highlights from Seventeenth Conference. While much attention has been given to entities like dates, titles, names, and addresses in the context of this interdependence, less research has focused on predicates compared to named entities and nominal objects.
Focus on Verbs in Bulgarian
This paper aims to address the complexities surrounding Bulgarian verbs, specifically two aspects of difficulty they present
Complex Forms: Bulgarian verbs often express tense, mood, and voice through intricate forms involving auxiliary verbs.
Verbal Units This encompasses clitic reflexive and personal pronominals, along with various types of particles.
Significance of Analysis
Understanding and describing these elements are crucial for assigning the appropriate syntactic structure to sentences Bulgarian Coast. Moreover, they form the foundation for incrementally enhancing annotated texts with information regarding the temporal and discourse positioning of events, as well as the argument structure of predicates. This exploration sheds light on the intricate relationship between paradigmatic and syntagmatic dimensions in the formal description of language, especially concerning Bulgarian verbs.
