ABSTRACT
In this document, we analyze several aspects related to the semantics of prepositions. We propose an approach and elements of a method to organize and to represent prepositions uses and senses. Complex polysemous behaviors are discussed, showing the use and limits of the approach.

Preposition senses: generalized disambiguation model
CICLing'06: Proceedings of the 7th international conference on Computational Linguistics and Intelligent Text ProcessingOur previous study on disambiguating the preposition “with” (using WordNet for hypernym and meronym relations, LCS for verb and preposition lexical information, and features of head and complement) looked promising enough to warrant study for other ...
An annotation schema for preposition senses in German
LAW IV '10: Proceedings of the Fourth Linguistic Annotation WorkshopPrepositions are highly polysemous. Yet, little effort has been spent to develop language-specific annotation schemata for preposition senses to systematically represent and analyze the polysemy of prepositions in large corpora. In this paper, we ...
