  • Advanced Syntactic Phenomena in the NomVallex lexicon
    Veronika Kolářová, Václava Kettnerová, Jiří Mírovský
    Jazykovedny Casopis, 2025
    NomVallex 2.5 is a valency lexicon of Czech nouns and adjectives that besides valency of particular noun and adjectival lexical units captures several valency-related syntactic phenomena, namely (i) active and passive syntax, (ii) systemic and non-systemic valency behavior, (iii) reflexivity and reciprocity, and (iv) negation. These phenomena, represented in the lexicon mostly by deverbal and deadjectival derivatives, are described here with respect to the derivational category of denominal adjectives. Though being regarded as less typical representatives of valency bearers in the non-verbal domain, denominal adjectives turned out to be involved in all of the studied syntactic phenomena. Their syntactic behavior thus can be viewed as similar to other derivational categories, especially to deverbal adjectives.

  • THROUGH DERIVATIONAL RELATIONS TO VALENCY OF NONVERBAL PREDICATES IN THE NOMVALLEX LEXICON
    Veronika Kolářová, Václava Kettnerová, Jiří Mírovský
    Jazykovedny Casopis, 2023
    NomVallex is a manually annotated valency lexicon of Czech nouns and adjectives that enables a comparison of valency properties of derivationally related lexical units. We present new developments in how the lexicon facilitates research into changes in valency across part-of-speech categories and derivational types. In particular, it provides links from derived lexical units to their base lexical units and also allows to search and display a base lexical unit together with all lexical units directly derived from it. Using an automatic procedure, any difference in valency between two derivationally related lexical units is specified. As a case study, focusing on nouns and adjectives directly or indirectly motivated by verbs, the facilities provided by the lexicon are used to show differences in what ways the particular deverbal derivatives representing various derivational types express the valency complementation standing in the base verbal construction in the subject position.

    Jazykovedny Casopis, 2021
    We present results of an automatic comparison of valency frames of interlinked adjectival and verbal lexical units based on the valency lexicons NomVallex and VALLEx. We distinguish nine derivational types of deverbal adjectives and examine whether they tend to display systemic or non-systemic valency behavior. The non-systemic valency behavior includes changes in the number of valency complementations and, more dominantly, non-systemic forms of actants, especially a prepositional group.
  • Non-Systemic Valency Behavior of Czech Deverbal Nouns Based on the NomVallex Lexicon
    Veronika Kolářová, Anna Vernerová, Jonathan Verner
    Jazykovedny Casopis, 2019
    In order to describe non-systemic valency behavior of Czech deverbal nouns, we present results of an automatic comparison of valency frames of interlinked noun and verbal lexical units included in valency lexicons NomVallex and VALLEX. We show that the non-systemic valency behavior of the nouns is mostly manifested by non-systemic forms of their actants, while changes in the number or type of adnominal actants are negligible as for their frequency. Non-systemic forms considerably contribute to a general increase in the number of forms in valency frames of nouns compared to the number of forms in valency frames of their base verbs. The non-systemic forms are more frequent in valency frames of non-productively derived nouns than in valency frames of productively derived ones.
  • Subcategorization of adverbial meanings based on corpus data

    Jazykovedny Casopis, 2017
    We introduce a corpus based description of selected adverbial meanings in Czech sentences. Its basic repertory is one of a long lasting tradition in both scientific and school grammars. However, before the corpus era, researchers had to rely on their own excerption; but nowadays, current syntax has a vast material basis in the form of electronic corpora available. On the case of spatial adverbials, we describe our methodology which we used to acquire a detailed, comprehensive, well-arranged description of meanings of adverbials including a list of formal realizations with examples. Theoretical knowledge stemming from this work will lead into an improval of the annotation of the meanings in the Prague Dependency Treebanks which serve as the corpus sources for our research. The Prague Dependency Treebanks include data manually annotated on the layer of deep syntax and thus provide a large amount of valuable examples on the basis of which the meanings of adverbials can be defined more accurately and subcategorized more precisely. Both theoretical and practical results will subsequently be used in NLP, such as machine translation.
  • Possible but not probable: A quantitative analysis of valency behaviour of Czech nouns in the Prague Dependency Treebank
    Veronika Kolářová, Anna Vernerová, Jana Klímová, Jan Kolář
    Jazykovedny Casopis, 2017
    In order to optimize corpus searches for valency lexicon production, we analyse the relative frequencies of different combinations of valency complementations of Czech deverbal nouns in the Prague Dependency Treebank, considering differences between productively and non-productively derived nouns and their semantic class. We also classify combinations of forms of participants according to their frequency.
