Using rich features is the most important part of semantic parsing system. In this paper, some new effective features and combination features are proposed, such as next word of the constituent, predicate and phrase type combination, predicate class and path combination, and so on. And then we report the experiment s on the dataset from Chinese Proposition Bank ( CPB). After these new features used, the final system improves the F2Score f rom % to %. The result s show that the performance of the system has a statistically significant increase. Therefore it is very important to find better features for semantic role labeling. Key words : computer application ; Chinese information processing ; semantic parsing ; semantic role labeling ; feature engineering ; maximum entropy classifier 1,,,, :,, : : : ( , , ) : (1982 ),,,
