Jan-Philipp Soehn: License to Coll: How to Bind Bound Words and Readings to their Contexts
In this contribution we propose a new module for handling idioms and
distributional idiosyncrasies. Based on the concept by Richter/Sailer (1999)
the new feature COLL (context of lexical licensing) plays the central role in
our approach. We provide a way to handle decomposable and nondecomposable
idioms and idioms containing bound words. Our module guarantees the
co-occurrence of all idiom parts and of bound word and licensing context,
respectively. A prerequisite for our analysis is a means to select for
particular elements in the lexicon. We introduce another feature, LISTEME,
which gives each lexical item its unique identifier andmakes it possible to
select for a particular lexical word or phrase. Finally, we compare our
proposal with alternative approaches and give some ideas regarding further
applications beyond idiomaticity.
