| Abstract | In this paper, we present a modeling of a syntactic lexicon for Arabic verbs.The structure of the lexicon is based on the recently introduced ISO standardcalled the Lexical Markup Framework. This standard enables us to describe thelexical information in a versatile way using general guidelines and makepossible to share the resources developed in compliance with it. We discuss thesyntactic information associated to verbs and the model we propose to structureand represent the entries within the lexicon. To study the usability of thelexicon in a real application, we designed a rule-based system that translatesa LMF syntactic resource into Type Description Language compliant resource. Therules are mapping information from LMF entries and types to TDL types. Thegenerated lexicon is used as input for a previously written HPSG grammar forArabic built within the Language Knowledge Builder platform. Finally, wediscuss improvements in parsing results and possible perspectives of this work. |
