1. A method of processing data, comprising: obtaining a text passage that contains one of a “be” verb and a “have” verb; determining at least one of whether the text passage contains a noun object preceding a past participle and whether the text passage contains an active present participle verb; obtaining at least a first syntactic dependency and a second syntactic dependency from the text passage, with at least the first syntactic dependency being a dependency between a subject and the one of the “be” verb and the “have” verb; and replacing the one of the “be” verb and the “have” verb with a verb derived from the second syntactic dependency to qualify a meaning of the first syntactic dependency by: applying derivational morphology to at least one word appearing in the second syntactic dependency, and applying syntactic rewriting criteria based on a verb form of the at least one word obtained from the derivational morphology.
