Annotation guidelines
PARSEME shared task on automatic identification of verbal MWEs - edition 1.1 (2018)


Hindi-specific decision tree

For Hindi, LVCs can be formed by a verb and a noun, or by a verb and an adjective which is morphologically identical to an eventive noun. This implies a modified version of the annotation decision tree.

Steps 1-4 are still valid in Hindi. But Step 3 should be realized with the decision tree below instead of the generic decision tree.

  • Apply test S.1 (prev. 6) - [1HEAD: Unique verb as functional syntactic head of the whole?]
    • Apply the VID-specific testsVID tests positive?
      • Annotate as a VMWE of category VID
      • It is not a VMWE, exit
    • Apply test S.2 (prev. 7) - [1DEP: Verb v has exactly one lexicalized dependent d?]
      • Apply the VID-specific testsVID tests positive?
        • Annotate as a VMWE of category VID
        • It is not a VMWE, exit
      • Apply test S.3 - [LEX-SUBJ: Lexicalized subject?]
        • Apply the VID-specific testsVID tests positive?
          • Annotate as a VMWE of category VID
          • It is not a VMWE, exit
        • Apply test S.4 (prev. 8) - [CATEG: What is the morphosyntactic category of d?]
          • Reflexive clitic ⇒ Apply IRV-specific testsIRV tests positive?
            • Annotate as a VMWE of category IRV
            • It is not a VMWE, exit
          • Particle ⇒ Apply VPC-specific testsVPC tests positive?
            • Annotate as a VMWE of category VPC.full or VPC.semi
            • It is not a VMWE, exit

            • Annotate as a VMWE of category MVC
            • Apply the VID-specific testsVID tests positive?
              • Annotate as a VMWE of category ID
              • It is not a VMWE, exit
          • Extended NP or an adjective which is morphologically identical to an eventive noun ⇒ Apply LVC-specific decision treeLVC tests positive?
            • Annotate as a VMWE of category LVC
            • Apply the VID-specific testsVID tests positive?
              • Annotate as a VMWE of category VID
              • It is not a VMWE, exit
          • Another category ⇒ Apply the VID-specific testsVID tests positive?
