Abstract

A technique for injecting corpus-based preference into syntactic text parsing is provided. Specifically, the problem of tagging content-word pairs by part-of-speech is solved by using thematic analysis. A new measure of the fixed or variable nature of such word pairs is created and used to classify word pairs as either noun-verb, adjective-noun, or verb-noun.
