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. **[Mapping AMR to UMR: Resources for Adapting Existing Corpora for Cross-Lingual Compatibility](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/docs/papers/bonn-2023-mapping-amr-umr-resources-adapting/)** *(2023)* A reference paper that lists how AMR structures map onto UMR, the typologically motivated successor to AMR. 2. **[UMR Annotation of Multiword Expressions](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/docs/papers/bonn-2023-umr-annotation-multiword-expressions/)** *(2023)* This is a guideline paper. It runs no experiment and reports no counts. UMR, which is based on AMR, maps words to concepts. The authors define a multiword expression (MWE) operationally: several words that together form one concept. They sort MWEs into three groups. Fixed MWEs are unmodifiable word sequences, such as… 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. 4. **[Merging PropBank, NomBank, TimeBank, Penn Discourse Treebank and Coreference](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/docs/papers/pustejovsky-2005-merging-propbank-nombank-timebank-penn/)** *(2005)* Separate annotation projects each cover one part of semantics: PropBank and NomBank (predicate-argument structure of verbs and nouns), TimeBank (events, times and their links), the Penn Discourse Treebank (connectives as predicates), and Essex coreference (MATE scheme). ## Co-authors (22) - [Martha Palmer](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/docs/papers/authors/martha-palmer/) ×4 - [Julia Bonn](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/docs/papers/authors/julia-bonn/) ×3 - [Alexis Palmer](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/docs/papers/authors/alexis-palmer/) ×2 - [Andrew Cowell](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/docs/papers/authors/andrew-cowell/) ×2 - [Jan Hajič](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/docs/papers/authors/jan-hajic/) ×2 - [Jin Zhao](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/docs/papers/authors/jin-zhao/) ×2 - [Nianwen Xue](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/docs/papers/authors/nianwen-xue/) ×2 - [Zdenka Urešová](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/docs/papers/authors/zdenka-uresova/) ×2 - [Adam Meyers](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/docs/papers/authors/adam-meyers/) - [Annie Zaenen](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/docs/papers/authors/annie-zaenen/) - Haibo Sun - [James Gung](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/docs/papers/authors/james-gung/) - [James H.
