Abstract

Textual entailment relations between concrete expressions and abstract concepts such as linguistic functions, attributes of entities and their values, emotions, moods, and situations, scenes, fields, occupations, etc can not be obtained with the help of syntactic transformation or dependency analysis. Usually, it is considered that to obtain these entailment relations common sense is needed, which makes the process of achieving these relations unpredictable. Lexical functions and scripts own the ability to conventionalize the common senses, which makes the recognition of these textual entailments predictable and derivable and thus improves corpus coverage in recognition of Chinese textual entailments.
