Contribution of the Combinatorial Semantics to the development of multilingual digital tools
Abstract
This paper describes how the field of Combinatorial Semantics has contributed to the design of three prototypes for the automatic generation of argument patterns in nominal phrases in Spanish, French and German – Xera, Combinatoria and CombiContext. It also shows the importance of knowing about the argument syntactic-semantic interface in a production situation in the context of foreign languages. After a descriptive section on the design, typologie and information levels of the resources, there follows an explanation of the central role of the combinatorial meaning – roles and ontological features. The study deals with different semantic filters applied in the selection, organization and expansion of the lexicon, being these key pieces for the generation of grammatically correct and semantically acceptable mono- and biargumental nominal phrases.
