Towards an Inferential Lexicon of Event Selecting Predicates for French

no code implementations WS 2017 Ingrid Falk, Fabienne Martin

The resource developed provides evidence for the following three hypotheses: (i) French implicative verbs have an aspect dependent profile (their inferential profile varies with outer aspect), while factive verbs have an aspect independent profile (they keep the same inferential profile with both imperfective and perfective aspect); (ii) implicativity decreases with imperfective aspect: the inferences triggered by French implicative verbs combined with perfective aspect are often weakened when the same verbs are combined with imperfective aspect; (iii) implicativity decreases with an animate (deep) subject: the inferences triggered by a verb which is implicative with an inanimate subject are weakened when the same verb is used with an animate subject.

Towards a lexicon of event-selecting predicates for a French FactBank

no code implementations WS 2017 Ingrid Falk, Fabienne Martin

This paper presents ongoing work for the construction of a French FactBank and a lexicon of French event-selecting predicates (ESPs), by applying the factuality detection algorithm introduced in (Saur{\'\i} and Pustejovsky, 2012).

Aspectual Flexibility Increases with Agentivity and ConcretenessA Computational Classification Experiment on Polysemous Verbs

no code implementations LREC 2016 Ingrid Falk, Fabienne Martin

We present an experimental study making use of a machine learning approach to identify the factors that affect the aspectual value that characterizes verbs under each of their readings.
