Atomic Event Semantic Roles and Chinese Instances Analysis

Abstract

The research on event has been becoming more and more popular in natural language processing and text analysis. The event semantic roles for natural language text corpus should be paid more attention in order to make great progress in the event semantic analysis and computation. Compared with the sentence-level semantic roles, this paper discusses some important issues from the view of atomic event. Besides the subjective and objective semantic roles, this paper also puts emphasis on the space and time event semantic roles in accordance with the nature of event. In order to deal with the embedded event, this paper puts forward the concept of recursive event. After labeling and analyzing some Chinese instances for the natural language text corpus collected from Web, the results show that it is necessary to discuss the problems and their solutions about atomic event semantic roles.
