Abstract: | In this paper, we present a pilot Arabic morphological Pattern Net study based on a lexical semantic resource. During this study, a limited number of Arabic Morphological Patterns have been selected in order to analyze the structure and the behavior of the verbs in the Arabic PropBank, which is a semantically annotated corpus of newswire text from the Annahar Journal. Our goal is twofold: (a) to study whether there is a direct relationship between morphological patterns and verbal semantic roles; and, (b) to verify that this direct relationship is a pervasive component of Arabic verb morphology. The approach to building our morphological Patterns database is based on linguistic generalization of the semantic roles of the verbal predicates. The results obtained show promising outcome for a future, more comprehensive study. |
