Abstract

This paper constructs a high-quality adverbial-verb collocation database based on a large-scale corpus. First, we established a knowledge system of adverbial-verb collocations based on previous studies and linguistic rules. Then, we designed and implemented a knowledge acquisition model of adverbial-verb collocation based on a large-scale corpus. Finally, we evaluated and analyzed the extracted results. The main purposes are to obtain high-quality adverbial-verb collocations by formal means and to provide data support for natural language processing and theoretical and applied linguistic research.
