Chinese Functional Chunk Identification Based on Part of Speech

Chinese functional chunk describes the basic skeleton of the Chinese sentences. It is the important bridge for joining syntax and semantic description, and the Chinese functional chunk identification plays a key role in the field of natural language processing. Identifying the functional chunk is mostly based on methods of rules which come from the syntactic analysis. In this paper, the functional chunk is mainly identified according to the effect of the part of speech in the syntactic analysis. The experimental results show the proposed method works well on the functional chunk identification.
