Abstract
Depth and accuracy of linguistic analysis decides the course of successful application of linguistic tools. When it comes to Indian languages, morphological analysis plays a crucial role, as most of the information is encoded at this level only (Akshar Bharati, Vineet Chaitanya, Rajeev Sangal and K. V. Ramakrishnamacharyulu 1995).
Verb is the most crucial category in parts of speech. Relation of a verb with other constituents of the sentences can be encoded in various manners. And notoriously enough, same verb can act differently in different environments. For example:
● Transitivity alternation: An intransitive verb can become transitive and vice versa in the process of passivization and causativization.
rohana nahātā hai.
rohana bacce ko nahalātā hai.
rohana sohana se bacce ko nahalavātā hai.
● Diathesis alternation: Depending on the context, number of mandatory arguments can decrease and increase.
śaśāṃka ko kitāba milī.
śaśāṃka ko rohana se kitāba milī.
● Multiple senses: A verb, just like words of other POS categories can have multiple senses in different contexts.
rajata ghara ātā hai.
rajata ko saṃskṛta ātī hai.
