“…The very first integration experiment by Mota, Carvalho, and Barreiro (2016) concerned the integration of the lexicon-grammar of human intransitive adjectives into the Port4NooJ module. After the success of this integration, we have started to integrate complementary lexicon-grammars, first the lexicon-grammar of predicate nouns, which co-occur with the support verb fazer (Mota, Chacoto, and Barreiro 2017), and now the lexicon-grammar of predicate nouns co-occurring with ser de. Several classes and subclasses have been defined for each one of these lexicon-grammars based on distributional and transformational properties of the predicate nouns with which each one of these verbs co-occurs.…”

“…As shown in Mota, Chacoto, andBarreiro 2017 andMota, Carvalho, andBarreiro 2016, the integration of lexicon-grammars in Port4Nooj is a two-step process. First, one converts the lexicon-grammar tables into NooJ dictionary format, and then one builds grammars that use the linguistic knowledge encoded in the lexicon-grammar tables to identify relevant sentences or phrases and generate their corresponding paraphrases.…”

“…As we have already shown in Mota, Carvalho, andBarreiro 2016 andMota, Chacoto, andBarreiro 2017, the process of integrating the lexicon-grammar with Port4NooJ dictionary entries is mostly automatic, but the process of creating the grammars that use the knowledge formalized in the lexicon-grammars is hand-crafted, hence, timeconsuming. Some grammars can still be reused when they represent similar phenomena common to different lexicon-grammars although they usually need to be updated with the information of the newly integrated lexicon-grammar tables.…”

“…Previous research has shown that the distributional and transformational properties of adjectival and nominal predicates contained in lexicon-grammar tables can be used in paraphrasing tasks with successful results. Mota, Carvalho, and Barreiro (2016) describe the integration of the lexicon-grammar of human intransitive adjectives formalized by Carvalho (2007), and Mota, Chacoto, and Barreiro (2017) describe the integration of the lexicon-grammar of the predicate nouns co-occurring with the support verb fazer 'do' or 'make' formalized by Chacoto (2005). This paper provides continuity for previous efforts on the integration of complementary lexicon-grammars to expand the paraphrastic capabilities of Port4NooJ, the Portuguese module of NooJ (Silberztein 2016).…”

“…As inMota, Chacoto, and Barreiro 2017, the procedure allows to check whether words are compliant with the Portuguese Orthographic Agreement, but since all the words are pre-Agreement we are not using that feature and, hence, it is not described in thefigure.…”

This paper provides continuity for previous efforts on the integration of complementary lexicon-grammars to expand the paraphrastic capabilities of Port4NooJ, the Portuguese module of NooJ (Silberztein 2016). We describe the integration of the lexicon-grammar of 2,085 predicate nouns, which co-occur in constructions with the support verb ser de 'be of' in European Portuguese, such as in O Pedro é de uma coragem extraordinária 'Peter is of an extraordinary courage', studied, classified and formalized by Baptista (2005b). This led to a 20% increase in the number of predicate nouns. We also extended previously created paraphrasing grammars, such as the grammars that paraphrase symmetric predicates, as well as the grammars that handle the substitution of the support verb by another support verb. Furthermore, we created new grammars to paraphrase negative constructions, appropriate noun constructions, adjectival constructions, and manner sub-clauses. The paraphrastic capabilities acquired have been integrated in the eSPERTo system.

<span>The lexicon-grammar approach is a very important linguistic approach in automatic natural language processing (NLP). It allows for the description of the lexicon of the language through readable and intuitive tables for human manual editing. However, the automatic use of the lexicon-grammar tables in the automatic NLP platforms remains difficult, given the incompatibility between the codes used to represent the properties in the lexicon-grammar tables and those used to represent the properties in the automatic NLP platforms. In this work, we present our method of standardizing the lexicon-grammar tables for the French language, since they constitute very rich lexical, syntactic, and semantic linguistic resources. First, we standardize their properties so that they can be compatible with those used in the NLP platforms. Then, to implement the standardized tables, we used a linguistic platform such as NooJ. For that, we describe the process of integrating these tables into this platform through the automatic generation of the dictionaries from these tables. Finally, to test the efficiency of the generated dictionaries, we create for some of them syntactic grammars that take into account all the grammatical, syntactic, and semantic information contained in the dictionaries.</span>
