Some Questions for Discussion
• Semantic roles
• Syntactic frames
• Selectional restrictions
![Page 3: Comments to Karin Kipper Christiane Fellbaum Princeton University and Berlin-Brandenburgische Akademie der Wissenschaften](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022071807/56649e0b5503460f94af3238/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Semantic Roles
• Inventory: fine-grainedness vs. manageability
• Checklist of features (Dowty)?

Theme vs. Patient
• „P undergoes change“
• Moved entity is not changed? (put verbs)
• „hit“ entails a change?

Causer vs. Agent
• Agent can be involuntary, or Cause can be animate: I hit my knee against the table and knocked over the cup

Syntactic Frames
• Strict subcategorization or optional arguments and adjunct? E.g., cite does not require a Recipient, is not always a Transfer event
• „Generic“ arguments?• Syntax-semantics relation: how regular?
(What is a declarative frame?)

Syntax/Semantics
• Fine-grainedness of distinctions
Put-class is not homogeneous:
{Arrange/*lodge/*mount} X into Y, where Y is a resultant configuration
(beware polysemy of preposition!)
Arrange the oranges into a pyramid

Alternations
• Should causative break be considered a different sense than inchoative break?
Note that WN´s hierarchical structure forces a sense distinction—two different superordinates; senses are linked

Selectional Restrictions
• Class-based? Semantic sets?
• Selectional preferences (soft)?

Other Questions
• How were sense inventories compared?• What is relation of classes to subclasses—
what are hierarchical relations based on?• Why use WordNet 1.5--it‘s 10 years old• Why are idioms, phrasal verbs a problem?
• Were large clusters not predictive because of underspecification of Arg1, Arg2,...?
