Abstract
Development and Analysis of Verb Frame Lexicon for Hindi
Highlights
Verbs play a major role in interpreting the sentence meaning
This paper discusses two aspects of Hindi verbs: (1) Creation of verb frame files within Paninian Grammatical Framework and (2) Classification of Hindi verbs based on the verb frames
The verb frame file contains the following information: (1) description of the verb; and (2) verb frame for the verb. 49 unique verb frames were developed and the verbs were classified based on these unique verb frames
Summary
Verbs play a major role in interpreting the sentence meaning. Since verbs are important, the study of verb argument structure and their syntactic behaviour provides the necessary knowledge base for intelligent NLP applications. Verb frames were created following Paninian Grammatical Framework (PGF) where a verb plays a critical role in the analysis of a sentence. Hindi verbs were classified based on their VFs. The justification for following PGF is as follows: Indian Languages (ILs) are morphologically rich and have a relatively flexible word order [2,3]. Since Hindi is an Indian language (IL) and has relatively free word order [6,3], dependency grammar formalism is very well suited for it. In such languages, because of their rich morphology, there is more freedom in word order for expressing syntactic functions [7,8]. For this work, computational model of Panini's Grammar has been chosen
