TAILIEUCHUNG - Báo cáo khoa học: "Computational Lexical Semantics, Incrementality, and the So-called Punctuality of Events"

The distinction between achievements and accomplishments is known to be an empirically important but subtle one. It is argued here to depend on the atomicity (rather than punctuality) of events, and to be strongly related to incrementality (., to event-object mapping functions). A computational treatment of incrementality and atomicity is discussed in the paper, and a number of related empirical problems considered, notably lexical polysemy in verb - argument relationships. | Computational Lexical Semantics Incrementality and the So-called Punctuality of Events Patrick CAUDAL TALANA UFRL Université Paris 7 2 place Jussieu 75251 Paris Cedex 05 France caudal@ Abstract The distinction between achievements and accomplishments is known to be an empirically important but subtle one.

A computational treatment of incrementality and atomicity is discussed in the paper and a number of related empirical problems considered notably lexical polysemy in verb - argument relationships. Introduction Ever since Vendler 1957 introduced it the so-called punctuality of achievements has been the object of many theoretical contests. After having demonstrated that punctuality actually breaks up into two distinct notions namely non-durativity and atomicity I will argue here for a compositional semantic account of the latter. I will show that non- atomicity interacts closely with the notion of incrementality as formulated in Dowty 1991 and that this property of verbs should be lexically encoded although it is subject both to semantics and pragmatics-driven variations. I will finally discuss the formal specifications an NLP system could use to make predictions about atomicity and incrementality. 1. On Vendler s so-called achievements Vendler 1957 defined achievements and accomplishments as respectively punctual and durative. He based his claims on two main tests noting that at time expression adverbials combine with achievements but not accomplishments whereas finish combines with accomplishments but not achievements la At what time did you reach the top At noon sharp. lb At what moment did you spot the plane At 10 53 . 2a John finished leaving. 2b John finished drawing the circle. Dowty 1986 and Moens and Steedman 1988 decisively questioned the coherence of the class of .
