NLP oriented studies on Chinese functional words and the construction of their generalized knowledge base

Studies on Chinese functional words have a long and productive history.Up to date,most such studies are oriented towards human use.Being characteristically subjective and vague,they are difficult to be applied directly to natural language processing(NLP).From the perspective of computational linguistics,this paper discusses the construction of generalized knowledge base for Chinese functional words based on previous research results and the observation of the real uses of functional words in a segmentation and POS labeled corpus of People's Daily,aiming to provide data foundation for automatic identification of the usage of Chinese functional words.
