Abstract
Previously, we introduced a method to generate a multilingual Combinatory Categorial Grammar (CCG) treebank by converting from the Universal Dependencies (UD). However, the method only produces bare CCG derivations without any accompanying semantic representations, which makes it difficult to obtain satisfactory analyses for constructions that involve non-local dependencies, such as control/raising or relative clauses, and limits the general applicability of the treebank. In this work, we present an algorithm that adds semantic representations to existing CCG derivations, in the form of predicate-argument structures. Through hand-crafted rules, we enhance each CCG category with headedness information, with which both local and non-local dependencies can be properly projected. This information is extracted from various sources, including UD, Enhanced UD, and proposition banks. Evaluation of our projected dependencies on the English PropBank and the Universal PropBank 2.0 shows that they can capture most of the semantic dependencies in the target corpora. Further error analysis measures the effectiveness of our algorithm for each language tested, and reveals several issues with the previous method and source data.
