 Xinyao Lu (Erlangen): »German Support Verb Constructions in Context E
 mbeddings« Abstract: In representing words with consideration of thei
 r contexts\, context embedding models often show a strong ability in d
 isambiguation. This case study attempts to explore the question\, how 
 do the embedding representations of German support verbs vary from tho
 se of the full verbs. In the first part of the poster I will display t
 he practical skills used to search for support verb constructions from
  a corpus and give a quantitative analysis using the typical corpus li
 nguistics methods. In the second part I will use different similarity 
 measures to compare the representations and discuss about the proper i
 nterpretation. 1. Support verb constructions in German Support verb co
 nstruction (SVC\, German: Funktionsverbgefuege) is a special kind of v
 erbo-nominal collocation\, in which the meaning of the verb is almost 
 completely transferred to the noun and itself appears only as a suppor
 t verb. Typical examples of SVCs in the German language are: in Kauf n
 ehmen\, (endure something uncomfortable) in Rechnung stellen\, (ask fo
 r payment) and so on. It&#8217\;s important to notice that SVCs are mo
 re than collocations with a higher association-score\, they are fixed 
 semantic units. 2. Context embedding and disambiguation In analysing t
 he semantic field of the context\, context word embedding assigns diff
 erent vector representations to homographs. It&#8217\;s reasonable to 
 assume that the support verbs in German SVCs also receive a different 
 representation in comparison to the cases\, as they are used as full v
 erbs. (e. g. nehmen as support verb and as full verb). This study atte
 mpts to verify this assumption and\, if possible\, interpret the diffe
 rences. 3. Organizing the dataset: Semi-automatic reco
