Automatic Extraction of Implicit Interpretations from Modal Constructions
This paper presents an approach to extract implicit interpretations from modal constructions. Importantly, our approach uses a deterministic procedure to normalize eventualities and generate potential interpretations. An annotation effort demonstrates that these interpretations are intuitive to humans and most modal constructions convey at least one interpretation. Experimental results show tha...
متن کاملConstructions License Verb Frames
Where does a verb’s frame come from? The obvious answer is the verb itself, and this is the answer that syntacticians have traditionally provided, whether they describe predicator-argument relations as syntactic sisterhood relations or as lexical properties (the predicator’s combinatoric potential, or valence). Thus, Haegeman, in her introduction to Government and Binding theory, states, “the t...
متن کاملModal Interpretations and Relativity
Modal interpretations of quantum mechanics posit that the state vector obeys linear, unitary evolution at all times, and supplement the state vector with a set of possessed properties sufficiently rich to account for the occurrence of definite events at the macroscopic level, including definite outcomes of experiments, but sufficiently restricted so as to avoid a Kochen-Specker contradiction. T...
متن کاملCompositionality in Verb-Particle Constructions
We are developing a broad-coverage deep semantic lexicon for a system that parses sentences into a logical form expressed in a rich ontology that supports reasoning. In this paper we look at verb-particle constructions (VPCs), and the extent to which they can be treated compositionally vs idiomatically. First we distinguish between the different types of VPCs based on their compositionality and...
متن کاملVerb-Particle Constructions in Questions
In this paper, we investigate the behavior of verb-particle constructions in English questions. We present a small dataset that contains questions and verb-particle construction candidates. We demonstrate that there are significant differences in the distribution of WH-words, verbs and prepositions/particles in sentences that contain VPCs and sentences that contain only verb + prepositional phr...
