Generalizing, are you
postulating use of a few words (by, of, to, on, …), perhaps
exactly the set of prepositions,
as an NLP representation of binary relationships
to process
sentences?
Aren’t there cases
where the preposition itself has multiple meanings? For “of”:
The book of Mark
The Duke of Windsor
Sort of like a bird
Lots of biscuits
A cause of global warming
These examples seem to
display a diversity of meanings. Why would your
approach make it easy to
handle these relationships? Similar concerns
about the other
prepositions would also surface IMHO after analysis.
