Adapting Stanford Parser's Dependencies to Paninian Grammar's Karaka Relations Using VerbNet.

Paninian Grammar framework provides a better solution for parsing free word order languages and Stanford Parser gives the dependencies for English language (Fixed word order language). In this paper, we map the Stanford parser dependencies to karaka relations. By using VerbNet, we capture the syntax and semantics of verb. We present the issues that encounter while doing adaptation and proposed solution to overcome these problems. We are using Hindi Dependency parser for verification of results. With this adaptation of Stanford Parser, an English-Hindi parallel treebank can be created. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
