Verb Subcategorization II
Cues: Define a regular pattern of words and syntactic categories which indicates the presence of the frame with high certainty. For a particular cue cj we define a probability of error ?j that indicates how likely we are to make a mistake if we assign frame f to verb v based on cue cj.
Hypothesis Testing: Define the null hypothesis, H0, as: “the frame is not appropriate for the verb”. Reject this hypothesis if the cue cj.indicate with high probability that our H0 is wrong.
