An Approach to the Formal Semantic and Syntactic Analysis of Korean Sentences
The purpose of the present paper is to describe a procedure designing some kind of syntactical marking of modern Korean sentences. The marking consists of two components. The first one shows some linear fragmentation of a sentence. To recover fragments, the procedure appeals to a short list of affixes. The second component shows a hypothetical actantpredicate structure of the same sentence. The procedure finds predicatives and their actants mostly within fragments. Rules designing the second component use a dictionary of predicatives which includes information on number of their valencies and grammatical forms of their potentional actants. Such marking can be viewed as a good start for subsequent syntactical and semantic analysis. To prove the procedure, a computer program was realized in Python and tested on a set of Korean sentences.
