Abstract: | The event template for a verb is a lexical representation of the type of event that the verb can denote. Manner of motion
verbs have a simple template: An entity is engaged in a manner of motion activity (e.g., walk). Change of location verbs have
a different template: An entity changes from one location to another (e.g., arrive). We propose, and support empirically,
that these templates determine the propositional structures of sentences in which the verbs are used. |
