"abstract": "Light verb constructions (LVCs) are verb and noun combinations in which the verb has lost its meaning to some degree and the noun is used in one of its original senses. They often share their syntactic pattern with other constructions (e.g. verbobject pairs) thus LVC detection can be viewed as classifying certain syntactic patterns as light verb constructions or not. In this paper, we explore a novel way to detect LVCs in texts: we apply a dependency parser to carry out the task. We present our experiments on a Hungarian treebank, which has been manually annotated for dependency relations and light verb constructions. Our results outperformed those achieved by state-of-the-art techniques for Hungarian LVC detection, especially due to the high precision and the treatment of long-distance dependencies.",

"text": "Multiword expressions (MWEs) are lexical items that can be decomposed into single words and display lexical, syntactic, semantic, pragmatic and/or statistical idiosyncrasy (Kim, 2008) . Light verb constructions (LVCs) form a subtype of MWEs: they are verb and noun combinations in which the verb has lost its meaning to some degree and the noun is used in one of its original senses (e.g. make a decision or take a walk). In several NLP applications like information retrieval or machine translation it is important to identify LVCs in context since they require special treatment, particularly because of their semantic features. Thus, LVCs should be identified to help these applications.",

Thus, specific syntactic constructions -e.g. verb-object pairs -can be separated into two classes: one where the noun behaves as a real object (cake) and one where the noun functions as the light verb object (mistake). Thus, LVC detection can be viewed as classifying certain syntactic patterns as LVCs or not and assigning a specific syntactic label to the argument of the light verb.",

Although the usability of identified multiword expressions has been investigated in the literature (see Section 4), and many MWE detection systems rely on syntactic information, we are not aware of any approach that aimed at applying a dependency parser for the dedicated task of identifying LVCs. Our approach requires a treebank annotated for syntactic and LVC information at the same time. Due to the availability of annotated resources, we focus on light verb constructions in Hungarian, a morphologically rich language. Thus, we present our experiments on the legal subcorpus of the Szeged Dependency Treebank annotated for LVCs as well as dependency relations . We will pay special attention to noncontiguous LVCs in our investigations as there are quite a few non-contiguous LVCs in Hungarian due to the free word order. Our results empirically prove that LVCs can be detected as a \"side effect\" of dependency parsing.",

"text": "Hungarian is an agglutinative language, which means that a word can have hundreds of word forms due to inflectional or derivational morphology (\u00c9. Kiss, 2002) . Hungarian word order is related to information structure, e.g. new (or emphatic) information (focus) always precedes the verb and old information (topic) precedes the focus position. Thus, the position relative to the verb has no predictive force as regards the syntactic function of the given argument. In English, the noun phrase before the verb is most typically the subject whereas in Hungarian, it is the focus of the sentence, which itself can be the subject, object or any other argument. The grammatical function of words is determined by case suffixes. Hungarian nouns can have about 20 cases, which mark the relationship between the verb and its arguments (subject, object, dative etc.) and adjuncts (mostly adverbial modifiers). Although there are postpositions in Hungarian, case suffixes can also express relations that are expressed by prepositions in English. Verbs are inflected for person and number and the definiteness of the object. There are several other linguistic phenomena that are syntactic in nature in English but they are encoded morphologically in Hungarian. For instance, causation and modality are expressed by derivational suffixes.",

"text": "LVCs may occur in several forms due to their syntactic flexibility. Besides the prototypical verbal form in Hungarian, they can have a participial form (e.g. figyelembe vev\u0151 account-INE taking \"taking into account\") and they may also undergo nominalization, yielding a nominal compound (e.g.\u00e9letbe l\u00e9p\u00e9s life-INE step \"entering into force\"). 1 From a morphological perspective, LVCs can also be divided into groups. First, the nominal component is the object of the verb, i.e. it bears an accusative case in Hungarian (e.g. d\u00f6nt\u00e9st hoz decision-ACC bring \"to make a decision\" or tan\u00e1csot ad advice-ACC give \"to give advice\"). Second, the nominal component can bear other (oblique) cases as well (e.g. zavarba hoz embarrassment-ILL bring \"to embarrass\" or figyelemmel k\u00eds\u00e9r attention-INS follow \"to pay attention\"). Third, -although rarely -a postpositional phrase can also occur in the construction (e.g. uralom al\u00e1 jut rule under get \"to get under rule\" or hat\u00e1s alatt\u00e1ll effect under stand \"to be under effect\").",

"text": "Although light verb constructions are made of two parts, namely, the nominal component and the verb, thus, they show phrasal properties, it can be argued that from a semantic point of view they form one unit. First, many light verb constructions have a verbal counterpart with the same meaning (e.g. d\u00f6nt\u00e9st hoz decision-ACC bring \"to make a decision\" -d\u00f6nt \"to decide\"). Second, there are meanings that can only be expressed through a light verb construction (e.g. h\u00e1zkutat\u00e1st tart (search.of.premises-ACC hold) 'to conduct search of premises' in Hungarian). Third, there are languages that abound in verb + noun constructions or multiword verbs (such as Estonian (Muischnek and Kaalep, 2010) or Persian (Mansoory and Bijankhan, 2008) ): verbal concepts are mostly expressed by combining a noun with a light verb (Mansoory and Bijankhan, 2008) . On the other hand, there are views that the relationship between the verbal and the nominal component is not that of a normal argument. For instance, Meyers et al. (2004) assume that support verbs (a term related to light verbs) share their arguments with a noun. Chomsky (1981, p.37) calls advantage a quasi-argument of take in the idiom take advantage of. 2 Alonso Ramos (1998) proposes the role of quasi-object: this relationship holds between parts of idiomatic constructions, which is in accordance with Chomsky's usage of the term idiom. In this spirit, the term quasiargument might be extended to signal the relationship between the verbal and the nominal components of light verb constructions as well since they behave as a semantic unit, forming one complex predicate.",

Nivre and Nilsson (2004) analyzed the influence of (previous) MWE recognition on dependency parsing and showed that known MWEs have a beneficial effect on parsing results. Korkontzelos and Manandhar (2010) investigated whether known MWEs improve the performance of statistical shallow parsers and found that they can significantly contribute to the efficiency of parsing. Eryigit et al. (2011) analysed the impact of extracting MWEs on improving the accuracy of a dependency parser in Turkish. They found that the integration of compound verb and noun formations (which concept is similar to the one of light verb constructions applied here) has a detrimental effect on parsing accuracy since it increases lexical sparsity.",

As for semantic features, the activity or event semantic senses were looked for among the upper level hyperonyms of the head of the noun phrase in the Hungarian WordNet 3 .

In other contexts, el\u0151ad\u00e1st tart presentation-ACC hold \"to have a presentation\" would most probably function as an LVC. However, in this case we encounter with another fixed grammatical construction of Hungarian, namely, valamilyennek tart valamit somewhat-DAT hold something-ACC \"to regard something as something\", e.g. sz\u00e9pnek tartja a l\u00e1nyt beautiful-DAT hold-3SG-OBJ the girl-ACC \"he thinks that the girl is beautiful\". Thus, there is no LVC in the above example, but approaches that heavily build on MWE lexicons may falsely identify this verbobject pair as a light verb object-light verb pair since they hardly consider contextual information. In contrast, dependency parsers have access to information about other dependents of the verb hence they may learn that in such cases the presence of a dative dependent argues against the identification of the verb-object pair as an LVC.",

This may be attributed to the fact that these LVCs are the least diverse in the corpus: there are only a handful of such types, and each LVC type has several occurrences in the data thus they can be easily identified. On the other hand, participial uses of LVCs (ATT-LVC) were the hardest to detect, which is partly due to their lexical divergence and partly due to the fact that currently adjectives and participles are not distinguished in Hungarian morphological parsing, i.e. they have the same morphological codes. Thus, the parser, which heavily builds on morpho-logical information, has no chance to learn that it is only participles that tend to occur as parts of LVCs but adjectives do not. A distinction of participles and adjectives in the Hungarian computational morphology would most probably have beneficial effects on identifying LVCs.",

Although the LAS scores are somewhat lower than in the case of LVC-less dependency relations, the task of LVC detection can be also performed by the parser. On the other hand, the classification approach needs a trained dependency model since it classifies LVC candidates selected on the basis of syntactic information. It also uses LVC lists gathered from annotated corpora and in order to denote LVC-specific relations (i.e. quasi-arguments) in the case of complex predicates, an extra postprocessing step is needed in the workflow. Thus, the resources needed by the two approaches are the same but with the dependency parsing approach, the implementation of a new LVC-detector from scratch might be saved and complex predicates are provided immediately by the parser. Moreover, another advantage of the dependency parser is that it performs better on non-contiguous LVCs, which are frequent in Hungarian.",

Furthermore, the classifier often made an error in cases where the sentence included an LVC but another argument of the verb was labeled as part of the LVC, e.g. filmet forgalomba hoz (film-ACC circulation-INE bring) \"to put a film into circulation\", where the gold standard LVC is forgalomba hoz \"to put something into circulation\" but filmet hoz \"to bring a film\" was labeled as a false positive LVC.
