PD Source Model - Lexicon Suffix Derivations with Negations
I. Introduction
The negation rule can be applied in the derivation morphology to retrieve antonyms [2006 Paradis]. Prefix derivations with negation tags in the Lexicon are retrieved as aPairs candidates. For example, negative prefixes of “un-“, “in-“, “non-“ and “count-“ for aPairs of [available|unavailable|adj], [correct|incorrect|adj], [diabetic|nondiabetic|noun], and [clockwise|counterclockwise|adv], respectively.
II. Design
Antonym candidates are retrieved from the Lexicon prefixD (derivation.data.${YEAR}). These antonym candidates are retrieved from the following prefixes: a-, an-, anti-, contra-, counter-, de-, dis- ,dys-, il-, im-, in-, ir, mis-, non-, un-, under- with five POS (noun, verb, adj, adv and prep).
It is possible that prefixes in a prefix derivation pair (dPair) are not included in the above list, yet, it is a valid antonym. For example, extra- is the prefix of ordinary|extraordinary, which is a legit prefix and aPair. Also, antonym pairs might include multiple prefix derivations, such as overdose|underdose which involves prefix derivations of dose|underdose and dose|overdose. The above two cases of aPairs from prefix derivations can be found in the model of co-occurrence in a corpus [CC] and thus are not discussed here.
Please see design documents for more details.
III. Implementation
Java source codes are implemented in the directory of Derivation:
Input derivations:
Use the prefixD in the Lexicon as source. The prefix derivations have 9 fields:
Derivation-1 | POS-1 | EUI-1 | Derivation-2 | POS-2 | EUI-2 | Negation | Type | Prefix |
---|
Algorithm:
Output APairs:
Ant-1 | EUI-1 | Ant-2 | EUI-2 | POS | Canon | Type | Negation | Domain | Source |
