Abstract

Based on semantic roles, this paper describes the building process of the Database of Lexical Semantic Constraints on the Syntactic Representation of the Semantic Role Instrument (LSCI). All the head words of optional arguments in the annotated corpus of Chinese text books of primary and middle schools are extracted and then tagged with semantic categories, syntactic categories and semantic roles. Based on this database, we investigate the semantic roles of instrument, material, manner, cause and goal, and quantify the dependency strength of semantic categories on syntactic positions.
