Comparing dependency and constituent syntax for frame-semantic analysis
Author
Summary, in English
We address the question of which syntactic representation is best suited for role-semantic analysis of English in the FrameNet paradigm.
We compare systems based on dependencies and constituents, and a dependency syntax with a rich set of grammatical functions with one
with a smaller set. Our experiments show that dependency-based and constituent-based analyzers give roughly equivalent performance,
and that a richer set of functions has a positive influence on argument classification for verbs.
