Compound Verbs in Persian Wordnet

This paper discusses some linguistic issues in developing the Persian WordNet of verbs with a special focus on Persian compound verbs. It begins with describing different types of compounding mechanisms in verbs and the grammatical structure and semantic properties of each type. It then continues with discussing the lexical and conceptual relations between compound verbs in the Persian WordNet and, finally, talks about the way that properties are used in the semi-automatic extraction of compound verbs and their relations from dictionaries and text corpora.
