Integrating support verb constructions into a parser
Résumé
This paper describes the process of integrating into a rule-based parser a set of approximately 1,000 nominal predicates forming support verb constructions (SVC) with the verb 'dar' "give" in Brazilian Portuguese. The system was evaluated on a sample of 580 sentences containing verb-noun combinations candidates to SVC, manually and independently annotated. Best results yield 85% precision, 79% recall, 76% accuracy and 82% F-measure.
