Segmenting Temporal Intervals for Tense and Aspect
نویسنده
چکیده
Timelines interpreting interval temporal logic formulas are segmented into strings which serve as semantic representations for tense and aspect. The strings have bounded but refinable granularity, suitable for analyzing (im)perfectivity, durativity, telicity, and various relations including branching.

A Computational Model of the Semantics of Tense and Aspect
The PUNDIT natural-language system processes references to situations and the intervals over which they hold using an algorithm that integrates the analysis of tense and aspect. For each tensed clause, PUNDIT processes the main verb and its grammatical categories of tense, perfect, and progressive in order to extract three complementary pieces of temporal information. The first is whether a sit...
متن کاملTense and Aspect Assignment in Narrative Discourse
We describe a method for assigning English tense and aspect in a system that realizes surface text for symbolically encoded narratives. Our testbed is an encoding interface in which propositions that are attached to a timeline must be realized from several temporal viewpoints. This involves a mapping from a semantic encoding of time to a set of tense/aspect permutations. The encoding tool reali...
متن کاملSemantic Analysis of Time and Tense in Natural Language: An Implementation
In this paper a model for temporal references in natural language (NL) is studied and a Prolog implementation of it is presented. This model is intended to be a common framework for semantic analysis of verb tenses and temporal adverbial phrases. The time model choosen was based on time intervals and temporal relations. The notion of “proposition type” and temporal concepts of tense, aspect, du...
متن کاملThe Semantics of Tense and Aspect
The present chapter describes a range of formal semantic accounts of tense 10438 and aspect, constituting a modest portion of the vast literature on tense and 10439 aspect (e.g., Binnick, 2012; Mani et al., 2005). The focus is on the nature of 10440 the ingredients assumed, including the pairs �w, t� of possible worlds w 10441 and moments t of time in Montague (1973), expansions of the moments ...
متن کاملExploiting aspectual features and connecting words for summarization-inspired temporal-relation extraction
This paper presents a model that incorporates contemporary theories of tense and aspect and develops a new framework for extracting temporal relations between two sentence-internal events, given their tense, aspect, and a temporal connecting word relating the two events. A linguistic constraint on event combination has been implemented to detect incorrect parser analyses and potentially apply s...
