no code implementations • COLING 2018 • Anabela Barreiro, Cristina Mota

This paper presents a methodology to extract a paraphrase database for the European and Brazilian varieties of Portuguese, and discusses a set of paraphrastic categories of multiwords and phrasal units, such as the compounds {``}toda a gente{''} versus {``}todo o mundo{''} {`}everybody{'} or the gerundive constructions [estar a + V-Inf] versus [ficar + V-Ger] (e. g., {``}estive a observar{''} | {``}fiquei observando{''} {`}I was observing{'}), which are extremely relevant to high quality paraphrasing.
