The multilingual dictionary of noun valency Portlex is considered to be the trigger for the creation of the automatic language generators Xera and Combinatoria, whose development and use is presented in this paper. Both prototypes are used for the automatic generation of nominal phrases with their mono- and bi-argumental valence slots, which could be used, among others, as dictionary examples or as integrated components of future autonomous E-Learning-Tools. As samples for new types of automatic valency dictionaries including user interaction, we consider the language generators as we know them today. In the specific methodological procedure for the development of the language generators, the syntactic-semantic description of the noun slots turns out to be the main focus from a syntagmatic and paradigmatic point of view. Along with factors such as representativeness, grammatical correctness, semantic coherence, frequency and the variety of lexical candidates, as well as semantic classes and argument structures, which are fixed components of both resources, a concept of a multi-sided prototype stands out. The combined application of this prototype concept as well as of word embeddings together with techniques from the field of automatic natural language processing and generation (NLP and NLG) opens up a new way for the future development of automatically generated plurilingual valency dictionaries. All things considered, the paper depicts the language generators both from the point of view of their development as well as from that of the users. The focus lies on the role of the prototype concept within the development of the resources.
翻译:多语言名词配价词典 Portlex 被视为自动语言生成器 Xera 与 Combinatoria 的创建触发点,本文介绍了这两个生成器的开发与应用。这两个原型用于自动生成含单论元与双论元配价槽的名词短语,这些短语可用作词典示例,或作为未来自主电子学习工具的集成组件。作为包含用户交互的新型自动配价词典的样本,我们审视了目前已知的这类语言生成器。在开发语言生成器的具体方法论流程中,从组合与聚合视角出发,名词槽位的句法-语义描述成为核心焦点。结合代表性、语法正确性、语义连贯性、频率与词汇候选多样性,以及作为两种资源固定组成部分的语义类别与论元结构等因素,一个多面原型概念得以凸显。该原型概念与词嵌入技术的联合应用,结合自动自然语言处理与生成(NLP与NLG)领域的技术,为未来自动生成多语配价词典开辟了新路径。总体而言,本文从开发视角与用户视角两个维度描述了这些语言生成器,重点聚焦原型概念在资源开发中的作用。
