The visualization shown in Figures 4-5 not only presents a method for the visual inspection of the structure of different languages, we can also use it to compare languages quantitatively.

Instead of starting with language-internal generalizations about roles and then moving to the cross-linguistic level, we show that one can usefully compare lan-guages at the level of the …

This is generally represented in a semantic-map-like diagram as shown in Figure 2a. This analysis works well for prototypically transitive clauses that have an A and a P argument, but the …

All the papers contained in this volume are contributed by scholars work-ing on language typology. They originally appeared in a special issue of Studies in Language 38 in 2014, which …

On the basis of data from 25 languages drawn from the ValPaL (Valency Patterns Leipzig) database, we show how one can visualize coexpression tendencies using quantitative …

This is generally represented in a semantic-map-like diagram as shown in Figure 2a. This analysis works well for prototypically transitive clauses that have an A and a P argument, but the …

In natural language processing, semantic role labeling (also called shallow semantic parsing or slot-filling) is the process that assigns labels to words or phrases in a sentence that indicates …

We discuss the criteria used to define the sets of semantic roles used in the annotation process and to analyze the frequency of syntactic/semantic alternations in the corpus.

We address this debate by posing two critical questions: to what extent do humans represent events in terms of abstract role categories, and to what extent are these categories shaped by …

In this paper, we present an overview of the methods associated with semantic maps, focusing on current challenges and new avenues for research in this area, which are at the core of the …
