A Resource of German Light Verb Constructions Along with Possible Alternative Formulations
- In this paper, the authors present a freely accessible resource covering German light verb constructions from the domain of administrative and business language (such as “Bericht erstatten” (to report)) together with their associated verb frames (in particular objects and governing prepositions). These constructions, which in many cases represent overly complex and difficult-to-read language, are joined within the same resource by simple verbs, also together with their respective verb frames. This not only provides a type of thesaurus for light verb constructions that can assist in text simplification, but the documented verb frames can also support the automatic generation of grammatically correct suggestions for simpler textual alternatives.
