Abstract
Semantic identification of adverbs in Modern Chinese is regarded as an exploration and attempt in improving semantic analysis on sentence level. This paper mainly focuses on two problems. Firstly, how to make computer identify the meanings of adverb “Dou”. Secondly, how to make computer identify the semantic orientation of adverb “Dou”. Based on the real large-scale corpus, the authors investigate the meanings of adverb “Dou” which are restricted by various factors and formal features, summarize the formal rules in a systematic way, and build a flow chart that computers are capable of identifying. We hope that this research will contribute to computer understanding and generating in the sentence that contains the adverb “Dou”.
