On Chinese Indirect Passive Sentences in Multi-modal Combinatory Categorial Grammar
Chinese passive sentences can be divided into long and short ones,as well as direct and indirect ones.How to deal with Chinese passive sentences has always been a difficulty for computational linguists.According to the different relationships between the subject and the components after"被(bei)",while indirect passive sentences can be divided into"including indirect passive sentences"and"excluding indirect passive sentences".Traditional analysis methods use syntactic operations,such as move,control and predication to analyze Chinese indirect passive sentences,which not only deny the original generation of Chinese indirect passive sentences,but also violate some grammar rules,and there are many phenomena hard to explain.Based on multi-modal combinatory categorial grammar,which is a single-layer structural grammar,the MMCCG deductive tree of various Chinese indirect passive sentences can be generated by surface composition,and the original generation of Chinese indirect passive sentences is proved from the perspective of computational linguistics,at the same time avoiding many problems faced by traditional methods in analyzing passive sentences.
