Dowty’s aspect hypothesis segmented
نویسنده
چکیده
A form of the aspect calculus hypothesized in Dowty 1979 to explain “the different aspectual properties of the various kinds of verbs” is reinterpreted by chaining segments incrementally, as in Landman 2008. Segmenting an interval brings out, it is argued, a notion of event that can be represented at bounded but variable granularities by strings of sets of temporal propositions, tracking change. Simple accounts of telicity, durativity and composition interpreting Moens and Steedman 1988 are given in terms of such strings.

Participant Subjectivity and Involvement as a Basis for Discourse Segmentation
We propose a framework for analyzing episodic conversational activities in terms of expressed relationships between the participants and utterance content. We test the hypothesis that linguistic features which express such properties, e.g. tense, aspect, and person deixis, are a useful basis for automatic intentional discourse segmentation. We present a novel algorithm and test our hypothesis o...

Annotation. We manually segmented and annotated all the pages in our dataset. Each page was segmented into a set of panels. For each panel, we first manually label its shot type (i.e., long, medium, close-up, or big close-up) and segmented the foreground subjects and their corresponding balloons. Given a set of segmented panels across all the pages, we then partitioned the panels into three gro...

This paper provides a foundation for the polarity marking technique introduced by David Dowty [3] in connection with monotonicity reasoning in natural language and in linguistic analyses of negative polarity items based on categorial grammar. Dowty’s work is an alternative to the better-known algorithmic approach first proposed by Johan van Benthem [11], and elaborated by Vı́ctor Sánchez Valenci...
متن کاملThe Semantic Proto-Role Linking Model
We propose the semantic proto-role linking model, which jointly induces both predicate-specific semantic roles and predicate-general semantic proto-roles based on semantic proto-role property likelihood judgments. We use this model to empirically evaluate Dowty’s thematic proto-role linking theory.
