The Pilot Corpus of the English Semantic Sketches
This work addresses the need for contrastive linguistic studies in computational linguistics, but it is incremental as it builds on existing sketch methods without introducing new paradigms.
The paper tackled the creation of semantic sketches for English verbs by developing a pilot corpus of English-Russian sketch pairs, focusing on cross-language differences and analyzing mistakes to provide linguistic insights.
The paper is devoted to the creation of the semantic sketches for English verbs. The pilot corpus consists of the English-Russian sketch pairs and is aimed to show what kind of contrastive studies the sketches help to conduct. Special attention is paid to the cross-language differences between the sketches with similar semantics. Moreover, we discuss the process of building a semantic sketch, and analyse the mistakes that could give insight to the linguistic nature of sketches.
