Classification of "Inheritance" Relations: a Semi-automatic Approach

This study describes a semi-automatic approach to the clas- sification of "inheritance" relations between morphologically related pred- icates. Predicates, such as verbs and nouns subcategorizing for a subclause, are automatically extracted from text corpora and are classified accroding to their subcategorisation properties. For this purpose, we elaborate a semi-automatic knowledge-rich extraction and classification architecture. Our aim is also to compare subcategorisation properties of morphologi- cally related predicates, i.e. verbs and deverbal nouns. In this work, we concentrate exclusively on the predicates with sentential complements, such as dass, ob and w-clauses (that, if and wh-clauses) in German, although our methods can be applied for other complement types as well.
