In this paper we explore how nouns are interpreted in context. Our main goal is to stress the role played by Qualia in semantic composi-tional processes involved in argument selec-tion, and to provide the motivation for inte-grating the annotation of the Qualia acted on by coercive verbs in predicate-argument con-structions, in the context of the GLML annota-tion effort. After a brief introduction of the no-tion of coercion (section 3), we describe the first steps taken in the preparation of the data set for an experiment of annotation of coer-cions in Italian texts (section 4), illustrate the different types of coercions that we encount-ered in a preliminary analysis of the data (sec-tions 5 and 6) and discuss how a task for Qualia annotation in coercive contexts may be conceived (section 7).

Abstract

In this paper we explore how nouns are interpreted in context. Our main goal is to stress the role played by Qualia in semantic composi-tional processes involved in argument selec-tion, and to provide the motivation for inte-grating the annotation of the Qualia acted on by coercive verbs in predicate-argument con-structions, in the context of the GLML annota-tion effort. After a brief introduction of the no-tion of coercion (section 3), we describe the first steps taken in the preparation of the data set for an experiment of annotation of coer-cions in Italian texts (section 4), illustrate the different types of coercions that we encount-ered in a preliminary analysis of the data (sec-tions 5 and 6) and discuss how a task for Qualia annotation in coercive contexts may be conceived (section 7).
