| In the UNL framework, '''Subcategorization Frames''' are the number and types of syntactic arguments that co-occurs with the lemma in a sentence.
| | #REDIRECT [[Subcategorization frames]] |
| | |
| == When to use subcategorization frames ==
| |
| | |
| Subcategorization frames are mandatory for words that take one or more syntactic argument, such as:
| |
| * intransitive verbs ('sleep', 'rain')
| |
| * direct transitive verbs ('kill', 'kiss')
| |
| * indirect transitive verbs ('depend', 'rely')
| |
| * ditransitive verbs ('give')
| |
| * deverbals ('arrival', 'construction')
| |
| * adjectives that require a complement ('loyal', 'interested')
| |
| * adverbs that require a complement ('contrarily to')
| |
| * prepositions ('in', 'after', 'near', 'instead')
| |
| * conjunctions ('because', 'and', 'but')
| |
| | |
| Subcategorization frames are optional for words that take no syntactic argument, such as: | |
| * nouns ('table', 'computer')
| |
| * adjectives ('beautiful', 'intelligent')
| |
| * adverbs ('yesterday', 'here')
| |
| * determiners ('the', 'this')
| |
| * pronouns ('he', 'yours')
| |
| | |
| == Syntax ==
| |
| | |
| Subcategorization frames should comply with the '''[[S-Rule]]''' formalism for writing syntactic rules in the UNL framework.
| |
| | |

| **COMP:=(PP,"to"<<0);
| |
| ***The complement is a prepositional phrase (PP) that is preceded by "to".
| |
| *INTERESTED (IN)
| |
| **COMP:=(PP,"in"<<0);
| |
| ***The complement is a prepositional phrase (PP) that is preceded by "in".
| |
| === Adverbs ===
| |
| *HERE
| |
| **There is no need for a semantic frame.
| |

| |
| ***The complement is a prepositional phrase (PP) that is preceded by "to".
| |
| === Nouns ===
| |
| *TABLE
| |
| **There is no need for a semantic frame.
| |
| *CONSTRUCTION (OF)

| |
| ***The complement is a prepositional phrase (PP) that is preceded by "of".
| |
| === Prepositions ===
| |
| *NEAR(TO)
| |
| **COMP:=(PP,"to"<<0);
| |

| |
| ***The complement is a noun phrase (NP).
| |
| | |
| === Verbs ===
| |
| *INTRANSITIVE ("sleep")
| |
| **SPEC:=(NP,NOM,>NUM,>PER);
| |
| ***The subject (SPEC) is a noun phrase (NP) that receives the nominative case (NOM) and that assigns the number (>NUM) and the person (>PER) agreement to the head
| |
| *COPULA ("be")
| |
| **SPEC:=(NP,NOM,>NUM,>PER); COMP:=({NP,JP}, NOM);
| |
| ***The subject (SPEC) is a noun phrase (NP) that receives the nominative case (NOM) and that assigns the number (>NUM) and the person (>PER) agreement to the head, and the complement is either a noun phrase (NP) or an adjective phrase (JP), that receives the nominative case (NOM) as well.
| |
| *DIRECT TRANSITIVE ("kill")
| |
| **SPEC:=(NP,NOM,>NUM,>PER); COMP:=(NP,ACC);
| |
| ***The subject (SPEC) is a noun phrase (NP) that receives the nominative case (NOM) and that assigns the number (>NUM) and the person (>PER) agreement to the head, and the complement is a noun phrase (NP) that receives the accusative case (NOM).
| |
| *INDIRECT TRANSITIVE ("depend")
| |
| **SPEC:=(NP,NOM,>NUM,>PER); COMP:=(PP,ACC,"on"<<0);
| |
| ***The subject (SPEC) is a noun phrase (NP) that receives the nominative case (NOM) and that assigns the number (>NUM) and the person (>PER) agreement to the head, and the complement is a prepositional phrase, that receives the accusative case (ACC) and that is preceded by "on".
| |
| *DITRANSITIVE ("give")
| |
| **SPEC:=(NP,NOM,>NUM,>PER); COMP:=(NP,ACC); COMP:=(PP,DAT,"to"<<0);
| |
| ***The subject (SPEC) is a noun phrase (NP) that receives the nominative case (NOM) and that assigns the number (>NUM) and the person (>PER) agreement to the head, and there are two complements: a noun phrase (NP), that receives the accusative case (ACC), and a prepositional phrase, that receives the dative case (DAT) and is preceded by "to".
