A negative control for I1: «The king promised the miller gold» must not yield «the miller has gold». *([VerbNet Representations: Subevent Semantics for Transfer…](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/docs/papers/brown-2019-verbnet-representations-subevent-semantics-transfer/) · no states from classes whose predicates say irrealis (promise, offer) — part of I1, dropped with it)* ## Papers 1. **[PropBank Comes of Age—Larger, Smarter, and more Diverse](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/docs/papers/pradhan-2022-propbank-comes-age-larger-smarter/)** *(2022)* A twenty-year review of PropBank. Rolesets are coarse senses with numbered arguments, and every role now also carries a function tag (PAG proto-agent, PPT proto-patient, GOL goal, LOC, TMP…) after Dowty. Since the 2017 unification, one roleset covers etymologically related verbs, nouns, adjectives, light-verb… 2. **[SemLink 2.0: Chasing Lexical Resources](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/docs/papers/stowe-2021-semlink-2-0-chasing-lexical/)** *(2021)* SemLink maps between PropBank rolesets and arguments, VerbNet classes and thematic roles, FrameNet frames and frame elements, and OntoNotes sense groups, and holds a corpus of verb instances tagged in all of them. 3. **[VerbNet Representations: Subevent Semantics for Transfer Verbs](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/docs/papers/brown-2019-verbnet-representations-subevent-semantics-transfer/)** *(2019)* The paper presents VerbNet's revised semantic representations, shown on the 37 classes (810 verbs) of change of possession and transfer of information. ## Co-authors (13) - [Martha Palmer](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/docs/papers/authors/martha-palmer/) ×3 - [Julia Bonn](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/docs/papers/authors/julia-bonn/) ×2 - [Kathryn Conger](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/docs/papers/authors/kathryn-conger/) ×2 - [Susan Windisch Brown](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/docs/papers/authors/susan-windisch-brown/) ×2 - [Annie Zaenen](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/docs/papers/authors/annie-zaenen/) - Ghazaleh Kazeminejad - [James Pustejovsky](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/docs/papers/authors/james-pustejovsky/) - Jenette Preciado - [Kevin Stowe](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/docs/papers/authors/kevin-stowe/) - Kristin Wright-bettner - [Sameer Pradhan](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/docs/papers/authors/sameer-pradhan/) - [Skatje Myers](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/docs/papers/authors/skatje-myers/) - [Tim O'gorman](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/docs/papers/authors/tim-o-gorman/) - [← previous James Glass](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/docs/papers/authors/james-glass/) - [next → James H.
