Valency of Verbs in the Prague Dependency Treebank

Publication at Faculty of Mathematics and Physics |

Abstract

This book describes PDT-Vallex, a valency lexicon of Czech verbs and its relation to the annotation of the Prague Dependency Treebank. The PDT-Vallex lexicon was created during the annotation of the PDT and it is a valuable source of verbal valency information available both for linguistic research and for computerized natural language processing.

The book describes also the relation between the PDT-Vallex and the PDT. The explicit and full-coverage linking of the lexicon to the treebank prompted us to pay special attention to diatheses; we propose formal transformation rules for diatheses to handle their surface realization.
