Research on automatic acquiring head verb of Chinese sentences

It is very important to automatically acquire the head verb when analyzing a Chinese sentence.Based on the theory of hierarchical network of concepts,this paper puts forward an approach to obtain the head verb candidates through the conceptual symbols of Chinese characters or words.Then the candidates are distinguished into different groups by some principles.One group,which is composed of the possible head verb candidates,will be sorted according their possibilities to be the head word.An experiment on 3 121 Chinese sentences from real corpus shows that the 83% head verb candidates in the group were included in the head structure of the corresponding sentences.
