Lexical semantic information plays an important role in supervised dependency parsing. In this paper, we add lexical semantic features to the feature set of a parser, obtaining improvements on the Penn Chinese Treebank. We extract semantic categories of words from HowNet, and use them as semantic information of words. Moreover, we investigate the method to compute semantic similarity between Chinese compound words, and obtain semantic information of words which did not record in HowNet. Our experiments show that unlabeled attachment scores can increase by 1.29%.
