Abstract

We present a pilot study for building an Arabic morphological Pattern Net as a lexical semantic resource. In this paper, a limited number of Arabic Morphological Patterns have been selected in order to analyze the structure and behavior of some verbs in the Arabic PropBank [19]. Our goal is to study whether there is a direct relationship between morphological patterns and verbal semantic roles. The approach to building our morphological patterns' database is based on linguistic generalization of the semantic roles of the verbal predicates. The results obtained show the feasibility of a more comprehensive future study.
