“…There has been considerable debate on what constitutes a paraphrase, in particular with respect to the amount of conceptual knowledge that may be involved -see Schreyer (1978) for a general discussion and Chang et al (2002) and Narayanan (2014) for FrameNet-specific discussions. Hasegawa et al (2011) take a relatively conservative approach and restrict themselves mostly to what they call language-based paraphrases.…”

Characterizing paraphrases formally has proven to be a challenging task. Hasegawa et al. (2011) pointed out the usefulness of FrameNet for paraphrase research, focusing on paraphrases which are backed by underlying classical linguistic relationships such as synonymy or voice alternations. This article proposes that other frame-to-frame-relations, notablyUsing, can serve as a source for concept-based paraphrases – that is, paraphrases that are backed by common sense knowledge, as in he called him a hero – he praised him for being a hero. While the predicates in these sentences are not synonymous, we would argue that the sentences are paraphrases – albeit of a kind that involves world knowledge about the relationship between different event classes. In this article, we propose a shallow taxonomy for the frame pairs which instantiateUsing, that is motivated by their ability to form concept-based paraphrases. Second, we analyze the subclass ofUsinginstances which supports concept-based paraphrasing, and provide a formalization of some prominent types of side conditions that are necessary to produce felicitous paraphrases.

“…Although there is a body of work dealing with how knowledge bases like FrameNet can be used for NLP (e.g. Agarwal et al, 2014;Baker, 2014;Narayanan, 2014), FunGramKB is currently the only knowledge base which provides an environment for the computational management of constructional characterizations at all major levels of meaning construction (cf. section 3).…”

This paper provides formalized, machine-tractable representations of two broad kinds of constructional configuration, argument-structure and implicational constructions, on the basis of previous linguistic analyses. It discusses computational implementation requirements on constructional description. In this respect, the paper argues that the Goldbergian approach (cf. Goldberg, 2006) provides the best fit for the implementation of implicational constructions, while a "mini-constructionist" account (cf. Boas, 2014) is suitable for argumentstructure constructions. Because of their representativeness, we have chosen to illustrate our discussion by making reference to the family of English resultatives, which are argumentstructure constructions, and to the family of Wh-attitudinal constructions, which are implicational. Computational implementation demands that the members of the family of the resultative be split into mini-constructions, while the complexity of implicational configurations requires that different formal variants be grouped together under one single computational representation. The paper further makes explicit proposals for the machine tractability of lexical-constructional integration and of meaning implications that have reached constructional status through entrenchment, two problems that remain unsolved within standard computational approaches to language processing.
