Zusammenfassung
We present a resource-poor approach to automatically acquire support verb constructions (SVCs) for Portuguese with a two-stage procedure. First, we apply a cross-lingual approach with a bilingual par- allel corpus: starting with a Portuguese full verb, we use the translations into another language and the corresponding backtranslations to identify Portuguese verb-noun pairs with the same meaning. Since not all of these are SVCs, the candidates are ranked and filtered in a second, monolingual step based on association statistics. We discuss two parametrisations of our procedure for a high-precision and a high-recall setting. In our experiments, these parametrizations achieve a maximum precision of 91\% and a maximum recall of 86\%, respectively.
