Comparing dependency and constituent syntax for frame-semantic analysis

Johansson, Richard LU and Nugues, Pierre LU orcid (2008) Conference on Language Resources and Evaluation (LREC)
Abstract
We address the question of which syntactic representation is best suited for role-semantic analysis of English in the FrameNet paradigm.

We compare systems based on dependencies and constituents, and a dependency syntax with a rich set of grammatical functions with one

with a smaller set. Our experiments show that dependency-based and constituent-based analyzers give roughly equivalent performance,

and that a richer set of functions has a positive influence on argument classification for verbs.
