Semantic Proto-Roles

Abstract

We present the first large-scale, corpus based verification of the seminal work of Dowty on the notion of thematic proto-roles. Our results demonstrate both the need for and the feasibility of a property-based annotation scheme of semantic relationships, as opposed to the currently dominant notion of categorical roles.
