Automatic processing of Chinese special structure ‘Ba-construction’

Abstract

Ba-construction is a special syntactic structure in modern Chinese. This paper gives a short summary on these topics and extracts 500 sentences including Ba-construction from CCRL. After detail analysis of the samples' phrase structure, the author builds the rules for computer based on CFG. These rules are tested by CTT - a parsing tree tracer. The author also points out the problems existed in the rules of CFG and the direction of further improvement.
