Persian Abstract Meaning Representation (2205.07712v1)

Abstract: Abstract Meaning Representation (AMR) is an annotation framework representing the semantic structure of a sentence as a whole. From the beginning, AMR was not intended to act as an interlingua; however, it has made progress towards the idea of designing a universal meaning representation framework. Accordingly, developing AMR annotation guidelines for different languages, based on language divergences, is of significant importance. In this paper, we elaborate on Persian Abstract Meaning Representation (PAMR) annotation specifications, based on which we annotated the Persian translation of "The Little Prince" as the first gold standard for Persian AMR. Moreover, we describe how some Persian-specific syntactic constructions would result in different AMR annotations.
