Event Structure Representation in Ontological Semantics.
Evie Malaia · MLMTA · 2006
The present work focuses on representation of event types in Ontological Semantics. As a systemic resource for knowledge-based Natural Language Processing, Ontological Semantics strives to represent the results of human language processing ability. This work suggests that event structure representation is indispensable to this task, noting the use of event structure in semantic representations of natural languages. It proceeds with offering possible ways of incorporating event structure into an ontological semantic system, and consider the advantages of using an event-structural treatment of predicates for semantic interpretation of ambiguous sentences, including implicature.
