Abstract
At present, there are about two shortcomings in the resources of Chinese synonyms. One is that there are no synonym resources specifically for verbs. The other is that scholars usually pay too much attention to the conceptual meaning of synonyms and ignore the grammatical meaning of synonyms. These two shortcomings may lead to inapplicability when applying synonym resources. Therefore, we are oriented toward verbs, consider conceptual and grammatical meanings, and construct grammatical synonym resources for verbs. Firstly, we formulated the Grammatical Synonym Annotation specification for Modern Chinese Disyllabic Verbs. Secondly, we constructed a collection of modern Chinese disyllabic verbs depending on the current research results. Finally, we took the annotation specification as the standard, referred to the related resources and the performance of verbs in the corpus, and built the grammatical synonym resources for modern Chinese disyllabic verbs. After forming the annotation team, it took us fourteen months to complete the annotation task. This paper provides high-quality data for natural language processing and dramatically improves the accuracy of sentence-level retelling.
