"abstract": "We present a methodology for extracting subcategorization frames based on an automatic lexical-functional grammar (LFG) f-structure annotation algorithm for the Penn-II and Penn-III Treebanks. We extract syntactic-function-based subcategorization frames (LFG semantic forms) and traditional CFG category-based subcategorization frames as well as mixed function/category-based frames, with or without preposition information for obliques and particle information for particle verbs. Our approach associates probabilities with frames conditional on the lemma, distinguishes between active and passive frames, and fully reflects the effects of long-distance dependencies in the source data structures. In contrast to many other approaches, ours does not predefine the subcategorization frame types extracted, learning them instead from the source data. Including particles and prepositions, we extract 21,005 lemma frame types for 4,362 verb lemmas, with a total of 577 frame types and an average of 4.8 frame types per verb. We present a large-scale evaluation of the complete set of forms extracted against the full COMLEX resource.

"text": "One important type of lexical information is the subcategorization requirements of an entry (i.e., the arguments a predicate must take in order to form a grammatical construction). Lexicons, including subcategorization details, were traditionally produced by hand. However, as the manual construction of lexical resources is time consuming, error prone, expensive, and rarely ever complete, it is often the case that the limitations of NLP systems based on lexicalized approaches are due to bottlenecks in the lexicon component. In addition, subcategorization requirements may vary across linguistic domain or genre (Carroll and Rooth 1998) . Manning (1993) argues that, aside from missing domain-specific complementation trends, dictionaries produced by hand will tend to lag behind real language use because of their static nature. Given these facts, research on automating acquisition of dictionaries for lexically based NLP systems is a particularly important issue.",

"text": "Aside from the extraction of theory-neutral subcategorization lexicons, there has also been work in the automatic construction of lexical resources which comply with the principles of particular linguistic theories such as LTAG, CCG, and HPSG (Chen and Vijay-Shanker 2000; Xia 1999; Hockenmaier, Bierner, and Baldridge 2004; Nakanishi, Miyao, and Tsujii 2004) . In this article we present an approach to automating the process of lexical acquisition for LFG (i.e., grammatical-function-based systems). However, our approach also generalizes to CFG category-based approaches. In LFG, subcategorization requirements are enforced through semantic forms specifying which grammatical functions are required by a particular predicate. Our approach is based on earlier work on LFG semantic form extraction (van Genabith, Sadler, and Way 1999) and recent progress in automatically annotating the Penn-II and Penn-III Treebanks with LFG f-structures (Cahill et al. 2002; Cahill, McCarthy, et al. 2004) . Our technique requires a treebank annotated with LFG functional schemata. In the early approach of van Genabith, Sadler, and Way (1999) , this was provided by manually annotating the rules extracted from the publicly available subset of the AP Treebank to automatically produce corresponding f-structures. If the f-structures are of high quality, reliable LFG semantic forms can be generated quite simply by recursively reading off the subcategorizable grammatical functions for each local PRED value at each level of embedding in the f-structures. The work reported in van Genabith, Sadler, and Way (1999) was small scale (100 trees) and proof of concept and required considerable manual annotation work. It did not associate frames with probabilities, discriminate between frames for active and passive constructions, properly reflect the effects of long-distance dependencies (LDDs), or include CFG category information. In this article we show how the extraction process can be scaled to the complete Wall Street Journal (WSJ) section of the Penn-II Treebank, with about one million words in 50,000 sentences, based on the automatic LFG f-structure annotation algorithm described in Cahill et al. (2002) and Cahill, McCarthy, et al. (2004) . More recently we have extended the extraction approach to the larger, domain-diverse Penn-III Treebank. Aside from the parsed WSJ section, this version of the treebank contains parses for a subsection of the Brown corpus (almost 385,000 words in 24,000 trees) taken from a variety of text genres. 1 In addition to extracting grammatical-function-based subcategorization frames, we also include the syntactic categories of the predicate and its subcategorized arguments, as well as additional details such as the prepositions required by obliques and particles accompanying particle verbs. Our method discriminates between active and passive frames, properly reflects LDDs in the source data structures, assigns conditional probabilities to the semantic forms associated with each predicate, and does not predefine the subcategorization frames extracted.",

It posits minimally two levels of syntactic representation: 2 c(onstituent)-structure encodes details of surface syntactic constituency, whereas f(unctional)-structure expresses abstract syntactic information about predicate-argument-modifier relations and certain morphosyntactic properties such as tense, aspect, and case. C-structure takes the form of phrase structure trees and is defined in terms of CFG rules and lexical entries. F-structure is produced from functional annotations on the nodes of the c-structure and implemented in terms of recursive feature structures (attribute-value matrices). This is exemplified by the analysis of the string The inquiry soon focused on the judge (wsj 0267 72) using the grammar in Figure 1 , which results in the annotated c-structure and f-structure in Figure 2 .",

OBJ \u03b8 and OBL \u03b8 represent families of grammatical functions indexed by their semantic role, represented by the theta subscript. This list of grammatical functions is divided into governable (subcategorizable) grammatical functions (arguments) and nongovernable (nonsubcategorizable) grammatical functions (modifiers/adjuncts), as summarized in Table 1 . A number of languages allow the possibility of object functions in addition to the primary OBJ, such as the second or indirect object in English. Oblique arguments are realized as prepositional phrases in English. COMP, XCOMP, and XADJ are all clausal functions which differ in the way in which they are controlled.

The subject is instead specified externally in the matrix phrase: While many linguistic theories state subcategorization requirements in terms of phrase structure (CFG categories), Dalrymple (2001) questions the viability and universality of such an approach because of the variety of ways in which grammatical functions may be realized at the language-specific constituent structure level. LFG argues that subcategorization requirements are best stated at the f-structure level, in functional rather than phrasal terms. This is because of the assumption that abstract grammatical functions are primitive concepts as opposed to derivatives of phrase structural position.

Creating such a resource by hand is time consuming and error prone, requires considerable linguistic expertise, and is rarely if ever complete.

Accordingly, many researchers have attempted to construct lexicons automatically, especially for English. In this section, we discuss approaches to CFG-based subcategorization frame extraction as well as attempts to induce lexical resources which comply with specific linguistic theories or express information in terms of more abstract predicate-argument relations.

"text": "We will divide more-general approaches to subcategorization frame acquisition into two groups: those which extract information from raw text and those which use preparsed and hand-corrected treebank data as their input. Typically in the approaches based on raw text, a number of subcategorization patterns are predefined, a set of verb subcategorization frame associations are hypothesized from the data, and statistical methods are applied to reliably select hypotheses for the final lexicon. Brent (1993) relies on morphosyntactic cues in the untagged Brown corpus as indicators of six predefined subcategorization frames. The frames do not include details of specific prepositions. Brent used hypothesis testing on binomial frequency data to statistically filter the induced frames. Ushioda et al. (1993) run a finite-state NP parser on a POS-tagged corpus to calculate the relative frequency of the same six subcategorization verb classes. The experiment is limited by the fact that all prepositional phrases are treated as adjuncts. Ushioda et al. (1993) employ an additional statistical method based on log-linear models and Bayes' theorem to filter the extra noise introduced by the parser and were the first to induce relative frequencies for the extracted frames. Manning (1993) attempts to improve on the approach of Brent (1993) by passing raw text through a stochastic tagger and a finite-state parser (which includes a set of simple rules for subcategorization frame recognition) in order to extract verbs and the constituents with which they co-occur. He assumes 19 different subcategorization frame definitions, and the extracted frames include details of specific prepositions. The extracted frames are noisy as a result of parser errors and so are filtered using the binomial hypothesis theory (BHT), following Brent (1993) . Applying his technique to approximately four million words of New York Times newswire, Manning acquired 4,900 verb-subcategorization frame pairs for 3,104 verbs, an average of 1.6 frames per verb. Briscoe and Carroll (1997) predefine 163 verbal subcategorization frames, obtained by manually merging the classes exemplified in the COMLEX (MacLeod, Grishman, and Meyers 1994) and ANLT (Boguraev et al. 1987) dictionaries and adding around 30 frames found by manual inspection. The frames incorporate control information and details of specific prepositions. Briscoe and Carroll (1997) refine the BHT with a priori information about the probabilities of subcategorization frame membership and use it to filter the induced frames. Recent work by Korhonen (2002) on the filtering phase of this approach uses linguistic verb classes (based on Levin [1993] ) for obtaining more accurate back-off estimates for hypothesis selection. Carroll and Rooth (1998) use a handwritten head-lexicalized, context-free grammar and a text corpus to compute the probability of particular subcategorization patterns. The approach is iterative with the aim of estimating the distribution of subcategorization frames associated with a particular predicate. They perform a mapping between their frames and those of the OALD, resulting in 15 frame types. These do not contain details of specific prepositions.",

Schulte im Walde (2002a Walde ( , 2002b ) uses a head-lexicalized probabilistic context-free grammar similar to that of Caroll and Rooth (1998) to extract subcategorization frames from a large German newspaper corpus from the 1990s. She predefines 38 distinct frame types, which contain maximally three arguments each and are made up of a combination of the following: nominative, dative, and accusative noun phrases; reflexive pronouns; prepositional phrases; expletive es; subordinated nonfinite clauses; subordinated finite clauses; and copula constructions. The frames may optionally contain details of particular prepositional use. Unsupervised training is performed on a large German newspaper corpus, and the resulting probabilistic grammar establishes the relevance of different frame types to a specific lexical head. Because of computing time constraints, Schulte im Walde limits sentence length for grammar training and parsing. Sentences of length between 5 and 10 words were used to bootstrap the lexicalized grammar model. For lexicalized training, sentences of length between 5 and 13 words were used. The result is a subcategorization lexicon for over 14,000 German verbs. The extensive evaluation carried out by Schulte im Walde will be discussed in greater detail in Section 6. Approaches using treebank-based data as a source for subcategorization information, such as ours, do not predefine the frames to be extracted but rather learn them from the data. Kinyon and Prolo (2002) describe a simple tool which uses fine-grained rules to identify the arguments of verb occurrences in the Penn-II Treebank. This is made possible by manual examination of more than 150 different sequences of syntactic and functional tags in the treebank. Each of these sequences was categorized as a modifier or argument. Arguments were then mapped to traditional syntactic functions. For example, the tag sequence NP-SBJ denotes a mandatory argument, and its syntactic function is subject. In general, argumenthood was preferred over adjuncthoood. As Kinyon and Prolo (2002) does not include an evaluation, currently it is impossible to say how effective their technique is. Sarkar and Zeman (2000) present an approach to learn previously unknown frames for Czech from the Prague Dependency Bank (Hajic 1998 ). Czech is a language with a freer word order than English and so configurational information cannot be relied upon. In a dependency tree, the set of all dependents of the verb make up a so-called observed frame, whereas a subcategorization frame contains a subset of the dependents in the observed frame. Finding subcategorization frames involves filtering adjuncts from the observed frame. This is achieved using three different hypothesis tests: BHT, log-likelihood ratio, and t-score. The system learns 137 subcategorization frames from 19,126 sentences for 914 verbs (those which occurred five times or more). Marinov and Hemming (2004) present preliminary work on the automatic extraction of subcategorization frames for Bulgarian from the BulTreeBank (Simov, Popova, and Osenova 2002) . In a similar way to that of Sarkar and Zeman (2000) , Marinov and Hemming's system collects both arguments and adjuncts. It then uses the binomial log-likelihood ratio to filter incorrect frames. The BulTreebank trees are annotated with HPSG-typed feature structure information and thus contain more detail than the dependency trees. The work done for Bulgarian is small-scale, however, as Marinov and Hemming are working with a preliminary version of the treebank with 580 sentences.",

"text": "Work has been carried out on the extraction of formalism-specific lexical resources from the Penn-II Treebank, in particular TAG, CCG, and HPSG. As these formalisms are fully lexicalized with an invariant (LTAG and CCG) or limited (HPSG) rule component, the extraction of a lexicon essentially amounts to the creation of a grammar. Chen and Vijay-Shanker (2000) explore a number of related approaches to the extraction of a lexicalized TAG from the Penn-II Treebank with the aim of constructing a statistical model for parsing. The extraction procedure utilizes a head percolation table as introduced by Magerman (1995) in combination with a variation of Collins's (1997) approach to the differentiation between complement and adjunct. This results in the construction of a set of lexically anchored elementary trees which make up the TAG in question. The number of frame types extracted (i.e., an elementary tree without a specific lexical anchor) ranged from 2,366 to 8,996. Xia (1999) also presents a similar method for the extraction of a TAG from the Penn Treebank. The extraction procedure consists of three steps: First, the bracketing of the trees in the Penn Treebank is corrected and extended based on the approaches of Magerman (1994) and Collins (1997) . Then the elementary trees are read off in a quite straightforward manner. Finally any invalid elementary trees produced as a result of annotation errors in the treebank are filtered out using linguistic heuristics. The number of frame types extracted by Xia (1999) ranged from 3,014 to 6,099.",

"text": "Hockenmaier, Bierner, and Baldridge (2004) outline a method for the automatic extraction of a large syntactic CCG lexicon from the Penn-II Treebank. For each tree, the algorithm annotates the nodes with CCG categories in a top-down recursive manner. The first step is to label each node as either a head, complement, or adjunct based on the approaches of Magerman (1994) and Collins (1997) . Each node is subsequently assigned the relevant category based on its constituent type and surface configuration. The algorithm handles \"like\" coordination and exploits the traces used in the treebank in order to interpret LDDs. Unlike our approach, those of Xia (1999) and Hockenmaier, Bierner, and Baldridge (2004) include a substantial initial correction and clean-up of the Penn-II trees. Miyao, Ninomiya, and Tsujii (2004) and Nakanishi, Miyao, and Tsujii (2004) describe a methodology for acquiring an English HPSG from the Penn-II Treebank. Manually defined heuristics are used to automatically annotate each tree in the treebank with partially specified HPSG derivation trees: Head/argument/modifier distinctions are made for each node in the tree based on Magerman (1994) and Collins (1997) ; the whole tree is then converted to a binary tree; heuristics are applied to deal with phenomena such as LDDs and coordination and to correct some errors in the treebank, and finally an HPSG category is assigned to each node in the tree in accordance with its CFG category. In the next phase of the process (externalization), HPSG lexical entries are automatically extracted from the annotated trees through the application of \"inverse schemata.\"",

The algorithm uses categorial, configurational, local head, and Penn-II functional and trace information. The annotation procedure is dependent on locating the head daughter, for which an amended version of Magerman (1994) is used. The head is annotated with the LFG equation \u2191=\u2193. Linguistic generalizations are provided over the left (the prefix) and the right (suffix) context of the head for each syntactic category occurring as the mother nodes of such heads. To give a simple example, the rightmost NP to the left of a VP head under an S is likely to be the subject of the sentence (\u2191 SUBJ =\u2193), while the leftmost NP to the right of the V head of a VP is most probably the verb's object (\u2191 OBJ =\u2193).

Its value is the syntactic category of the lexical item whose lemma gives rise to the PRED value at that particular level of embedding. This makes it possible to classify words and their semantic forms based on their syntactic category and reduces the risk of inaccurate assignment of subcategorization frame frequencies due to POS ambiguity, distinguishing, for example, between the nominal and verbal occurrences of the lemma fight. With this, the output for the verb impose in Figure 4 is impose(v,[subj, obj, obl:on]). For some of our experiments, we conflate the different verbal (and other) tags used in the Penn Treebanks to a single verbal marker (Table 4) . As a further extension, the extraction procedure reads off the syntactic category of the head of each of the subcategorized syntactic functions: impose (v,[subj(n) ,obj(n),obl:on]). 3 In this way, our methodology is able to produce surface syntactic as well as abstract functional subcategorization details. Dalrymple (2001) argues that there are cases, albeit exceptional ones, in which constraints on syntactic category are an issue in subcategorization. In contrast to much of the work reviewed in Section 3, which limits itself to the extraction of surface syntactic subcategorization details, our system can provide this information as well as details of grammatical function.",

To cope with this problem, the extraction algorithm uses the feature-value pair passive:+, which appears in the f-structure at the level of embedding of the verb in question, to mark that predicate as occurring in the passive: outlaw ([subj],p) . The annotation algorithm's accuracy in recognizing passive constructions is reflected by the f-score of 96% reported in Table 3 for the PASSIVE feature.",

"text": "Most of the previous approaches discussed in Section 3 have been evaluated to different degrees. In general, a small number of frequently occurring verbs is selected, and the subcategorization frames extracted for these verbs (from some quantity of unseen test data) are compared to a gold standard. The gold standard is either manually custom-made based on the test data or adapted from an existing external resource such as the OALD (Hornby 1980) or COMLEX (MacLeod, Grishman, and Meyers 1994 ). There are advantages and disadvantages to both types of gold standard. While it is time-consuming to manually construct a custom-made standard, the resulting standard has the advantage of containing only the subcategorization frames exhibited in the test data. Using an existing externally produced resource is quicker, but the gold standard may contain many more frames than those which occur in the data from which the test lexicon is induced or, indeed, may omit relevant correct frames contained in the data. As a result, systems generally score better against custom-made, manually established gold standards. Carroll and Rooth (1998) achieve an F-score of 77% against the OALD when they evaluate a selection of 100 verbs with absolute frequency of greater than 500 each. Their system recognizes 15 frames, and these do not contain details of subcategorizedfor prepositions. Still, to date this is the largest number of verbs used in any of the evaluations of the systems for English described in Section 3. Sarkar and Zeman (2000) evaluate 914 Czech verbs against a custom-made gold standard and record a token recall of 88%. However, their evaluation does not examine the extracted subcategorization frames but rather the argument-adjunct distinctions posited by their system. The largest lexical evaluation we know of is that of Schulte im Walde (2002b) for German. She evaluates 3,000 German verbs with a token frequency between 10 and 2,000 against the Duden (Dudenredaktion 2001).

To our knowledge this is the most extensive evaluation ever carried out for English lexical extraction. We conducted a number of experiments on the subcategorization frames extracted from Penn-II and Penn-III which are described and discussed in Sections 6.2, 6.3, and 6.4. Finding a common format for the gold standard and induced lexical entries is a nontrivial task. To ensure that we did not bias the evaluation in favor of either resource, we carried out two different mappings for the frames from Penn-II and Penn-III: COMLEX-LFG Mapping I and COMLEX-LFG Mapping II. For each mapping we carried out six basic experiments (and two additional ones for COMLEX-LFG Mapping II) for the active subcategorization frames extracted. Within each experiment, the following factors were varied: level of prepositional phrase detail, level of particle detail, relative threshold (1% or 5%), and incorporation of an expanded set of directional prepositions. Using the second mapping we also evaluated the automatically extracted passive frames and experimented with absolute thresholds. Direct comparison of subcategorization frame acquisition systems is difficult because of variations in the number of frames extracted, the number of test verbs, the gold standards used, the size of the test data, and the level of detail in the subcategorization frames (e.g., whether they are parameterized for specific prepositions). Therefore, in order to establish a baseline against which to compare our results, following Schulte in Walde (2002b), we assigned the two most frequent frame types (transitive and intransitive) by default to each verb and compared this \"artificial\" lexicon to the gold standard.

For a threshold of 1% we disregard any semantic forms with a conditional probability (i.e., given a lemma) of less than or equal to 0.01. As some verbs occur less frequently than others, we think it is important to use a relative rather than absolute threshold (as in Carroll and Rooth [1998] , for instance) in this way. We carried out the evaluation in a similar way to Schulte im Walde's (2002b) for German, the only experiment comparable in scale to ours. Despite the obvious differences in approach and language, this allows us to make some tentative comparisons between our respective results. The statistics shown in Table 12 give the results of three different experiments with the relative threshold set to 1%.

Distinguishing between complement and adjunct prepositional phrases is a notoriously difficult aspect of automatic subcategorization frame acquisition.

"text": "6.2.1 Directional Prepositions. Our recall statistic was particularly low in the case of evaluation using details of prepositions (Experiment 3, Tables 12 and 13 ). This can be accounted for by the fact that the creators of COMLEX have chosen to err on the side of overgeneration in regard to the list of prepositions which may occur with a verb and a subcategorization frame containing a prepositional phrase. This is particularly true of directional prepositions. For COMLEX, a list of 31 directional prepositions (Table 14) was prepared and assigned in its entirety by default to any verb which can potentially appear with any directional preposition in order to save time and avoid the risk of missing prepositions. Grishman, MacLeod, and Meyers (1994) acknowledge that this can lead to a preposition list which is \"a little rich\" for a particular verb, but this is the approach they have chosen to take. In a subsequent experiment, we incorporated this list of directional prepositions by default into our semantic form induction process in the same way as the creators of COMLEX have done. Table 15 shows that doing so results in a significant improvement in the recall statistic (45.1%), as would be expected, with the new statistic being almost three times as good as the result reported in Table 12 for Experiment 3 (16.8%). There is also an improvement in the precision figure (from 71.8% to 86.9%). This is due to a substantial increase in the number of true positives (from 5,612 to 14,675) compared with a stationary false positive figure (2,205 in both cases). The f-score increases from 27.3% to 59.4%.",

The Brown corpus comprises 24,242 trees compiled from a variety of text genres including popular lore, general fiction, science fiction, mystery and detective fiction, and humor. It has been shown (Roland and Jurafsky 1998) that the subcategorization tendencies of verbs vary across linguistic domains. Our aim, therefore, is to increase the scope of the induced lexicon not only in terms of the verb lemmas for which there are entries, but also in terms of the frames with which they co-occur. The f-structure annotation algorithm was extended with only minor amendments to cover the parsed Brown corpus. The most important of these was the way in which we distinguish between oblique and adjunct. We noted in Section 4 that our method of assigning an oblique annotation in Penn-II was precise, albeit conservative. Because of a change of annotation policy in Penn-III, the -CLR tag (indicating a close relationship between a PP and the local syntactic head), information which we had previously exploited, is no longer used. For Penn-III the algorithm annotates all PPs which do not carry a Penn adverbial functional tag (such as -TMP or -LOC) and occur as the sisters of the verbal head of a VP as obliques.",

When evaluating the application of the lexical extraction system on Penn-III, we carried out two sets of experiments, identical in each case to those described for Penn-II in Section 6.3, including the use of relative (1% and 5%) rather than absolute thresholds. For the first set of experiments we evaluated the lexicon induced from the parseannotated Brown corpus only. This evaluation was performed for 2,713 active-verb lemmas using the more fine-grained Mapping-II. Tables 22 and 23 show that the results generally exceed the baseline, in some cases by almost 10%, similar to those recorded for Penn-II (Tables 17 and 18 ). While the precision is slightly lower than that reported for the experiments in Tables 17 and 18, in particular for Experiments 2, 2a, 3, and 3a, in which details of obliques are included, the recall in each of these experiments is slightly higher than that recorded for Penn-II. We conjecture that the main reason for this is that the amended approach to the annotation of obliques is slightly less precise and conservative than the largely -CLR-tag-driven approach taken for Penn-II. Consequently we record an increase in recall and a drop in precision. This trend is repeated in the second set of experiments. In this instance, we combined the lexicon extracted from the WSJ with that extracted from the parse-annotated Brown corpus, and evaluated the resulting resource for 3,529 active-verb lemmas. The results are shown in Tables 24 and 25. The results compare very positively against the baseline. The precision scores are lower (by between 1.5% and 9.7%) than those reported for Penn-II (Tables 17 and 18 ).

"text": "The work presented in this section highlights a number of issues associated with the evaluation of automatically induced subcategorization frames against an existing external gold standard, in this case COMLEX. While this evaluation approach is arguably less labor-intensive than the manual construction of a custom-made gold standard, it does introduce a number of difficulties into the evaluation procedure. It is a nontrivial task to convert both the gold standard and the induced resource to a common format in order to facilitate evaluation. In addition, as our results show, the choice of common format and mapping to it can affect the results. In COMLEX-LFG Mapping I (Section 6.2), we found that mapping from the induced lexicon to COMLEX resulted in higher recall scores than those achieved when we (effectively) reversed the mapping ). The first mapping is essentially a conflation of our more fine-grained LFG grammatical functions with the more generic COMLEX functions, while the second mapping tries to maintain as many distinctions as possible. Another drawback to using an existing external gold standard such as COMLEX to evaluate an automatically induced subcategorization lexicon is that the resources are not necessarily constructed from the same source data. As noted above, it is well documented (Roland and Jurafsky 1998 ) that subcategorization frames (and their frequencies) vary across domains. We have extracted frames from two sources (the WSJ and the Brown corpus), whereas COMLEX was built using examples from the San Jose Mercury News, the Brown corpus, several literary works from the Library of America, scientific abstracts from the U.S. Department of Energy, and the WSJ. For this reason, it is likely to contain a greater variety of subcategorization frames than our induced lexicon. It is also possible that because of human error, COMLEX contains subcategorization frames the validity of which are in doubt, for example, the overgeneration of subcategorized-for directional prepositional phrases. This is because the aim of the COMLEX project was to construct as complete a set of subcategorization frames as possible, even for infrequent verbs. Lexicographers were allowed to extrapolate from the citations found, a procedure which is bound to be less certain than the assignment of frames based entirely on existing examples. As a generalization, Briscoe (2001) notes that lexicons such as COMLEX tend to demonstrate high precision but low recall. Briscoe and Carroll (1997) report on manually analyzing an open-class vocabulary of 35,000 head words for predicate subcategorization information and comparing the results against the subcategorization details in COMLEX. Precision was quite high (95%), but recall was low (84%). This has an effect on both the precision and recall scores of our system against COMLEX. In order to ascertain the effect of using COMLEX as a gold standard for our induced lexicon, we carried out some more-detailed error analysis, the results of which are summarized in Table 26 . We randomly selected 80 false negatives (fn) and 80 false positives (fp) across a range of active frame types containing prepositional and particle detail taken from Penn-III and manually examined them in order to classify them as \"correct\" or \"incorrect.\" Of the 80 fps, 33 were manually judged to be legitimate subcategorization frames. For example, as Table 26 shows, there are a number of correct transitive verbs ([subj,obj] ) in our automatically induced lexicon which are not included in COMLEX. This examination was also useful in highlighting to us the frame types on which the lexical extraction procedure was performing poorly, in our case, those containing XCOMPs and those containing OBJ2S. Out of 80 fns, 14 were judged to be incorrect when manually examined. These can be broken down as follows: one intransitive frame, three ditransitive frames, three frames containing a COMP, and seven frames containing an oblique were found to be invalid.",

There is a corresponding semantic form in the reference lexicon for 89.89% of the verbs in Section 23. 10.11% of the entries in the test lexicon did not appear in the reference lexicon. Within this group, we can distinguish between known words, which have an entry in the reference lexicon, and unknown words, which do not exist at all in the reference lexicon. In the same way we make the distinction between known frames and unknown frames. There are, therefore, four different cases in which an entry may not appear in the reference lexicon.

"text": "We have presented an algorithm for the extraction of semantic forms (or subcategorization frames) from the Penn-II and Penn-III Treebanks, automatically annotated with LFG f-structures. In contrast to many other approaches, ours does not predefine the subcategorization frames we extract. We have applied the algorithm to the WSJ sections of Penn-II (50,000 trees) (O'Donovan et al. 2004) and to the parse-annotated Brown corpus of Penn-III (almost 25,000 additional trees). We extract syntactic-function-based subcategorization frames (LFG semantic forms) and traditional CFG category-based frames, as well as mixed-function-category-based frames. Unlike many other approaches to subcategorization frame extraction, our system properly reflects the effects of long-distance dependencies. Also unlike many approaches, our method distinguishes between active and passive frames. Finally, our system associates conditional probabilities with the frames we extract. Making the distinction between the behavior of verbs in active and passive contexts is particularly important for the accurate assignment of probabilities to semantic forms. We carried out an extensive evaluation of the complete induced lexicon against the full COMLEX resource. To our knowledge, this is the most extensive qualitative evaluation of subcategorization extraction in English. The only evaluation of a similar scale is that carried out by Schulte im Walde (2002b) for German. The results reported here for Penn-II compare favorably against the baseline and, in fact, are an improvement on those reported in O'Donovan et al. (2004) . The results for the larger, more domain-diverse Penn-III lexicon are very encouraging, in some cases almost 15% above the baseline. We believe our semantic forms are fine-grained, and by choosing to evaluate against COMLEX, we set our sights high: COMLEX is considerably more detailed than the OALD or LDOCE used for other earlier evaluations. Our error analysis also revealed some interesting issues associated with using an external standard such as COMLEX. In the future, we hope to evaluate the automatic annotations and extracted lexicon against Propbank (Kingsbury and Palmer 2002) .",

Subcategorization frames are reverse-engineered and almost a byproduct of the automatic f-structure annotation algorithm. It is important to realize that the induction of lexical resources is part of a larger project on the acquisition of wide-coverage, robust, probabilistic, deep unification grammar resources from treebanks Burke, Cahill, et al. (2004b) . We are already using the extracted semantic forms in parsing new text with robust, wide-coverage probabilistic LFG grammar approximations automatically acquired from the f-structure-annotated Penn-II treebank, specifically in the resolution of LDDs, as described in . We hope to be able to apply our lexical acquisition methodology beyond existing parse-annotated corpora (Penn-II and Penn-III): New text is parsed by our probabilistic LFG approximations into f-structures from which we can then extract further semantic forms. The work reported here is part of the core components for bootstrapping this approach.",
