Abstract
Non-core argument, an additional component of a sentence, plays an important role in semantic analysis, which can expand the basic predicate structure and form complex propositions. Non-core arguments usually need to be cited by case markers, including not only prepositions but also verbs. This study focuses on verb-guided non-core arguments, as well as an investigation of the expression of non-core argument role relationships based on serial verb construction, which is different from the previous method that mainly focused on preposition-guided non-core arguments. In this study, a new set of non-core argument role classification systems is proposed. At the same time, newspapers and periodicals corpus containing structural tree information in BCC corpus are chosen for obtaining serial verb collocation data. Through disambiguation and non-core argument role identification, the presented method eventually achieved 25517 examples of triple collocations and constructed a verb-guided non-core argument knowledge base, which provides data support for natural language processing and language theory research.
