Linguistic study visualizes fuzzy nature of parts of speech using word embeddings

Researchers have explored the semantic space of parts of speech using word2vec embeddings and a neural network to reduce dimensionality. This analysis maps thousands of words into a three-dimensional space, revealing prototypical words and visualizing relationships between parts of speech. The study utilizes Universal Dependencies POS tags across French, Czech, Finnish, Russian, and English, challenging the traditional crisp categorization of parts of speech in linguistics. AI

IMPACT Provides a novel visualization method for linguistic analysis, potentially aiding NLP model development.

    Semantic Space of Parts of Speech

    arXiv:2608.15443v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Parts of speech categorization is understood in the European linguistic tradition as crisp categorization, which is also reflected in corpus linguistics, where each disambiguated token is assigned exactly one POS. However, the assig…
