Abstract
When mapped to syntactic elements, semantic roles are constrained by lexical semantic categories of words that assume the semantic roles. Based on a large-scale annotated corpus, this paper takes the semantic role “Possessor” as an example and analyzes its syntactic-semantic pattern, the influence of lexical semantic category upon its mapping to syntactic elements, the collocations of the semantic categories of noun-core structures and verb-core structures. The research initially reveals the constraints of lexical semantic categories upon the mapping of the semantic role “Possessor” to syntactic elements.
