Aligning corpus-derived argument structures of verbs and deverbal psych nouns in Italian

Marta Ricchiardi & Francesca Torchio

We discuss the results of an empirical study on argument structures of deverbal psych nouns in Italian. Our aim is to investigate psych predicates between syntax and semantics through a comparison between argument structures of psych verbs and their respective deverbal nouns. We used two resources of computational lexicography to collect corpus derived argument structures, and we provided a corpus based alignment of argument structures of Italian psych verbs and noun couples.
