This paper aims at shedding lights on the complex semantic concept of "event noun". Starting with the working hypothesis that linguistic context and corpus-based distributional information can be decisive, we propose a measure for eventivity that relies on syntagmatic cues. By means of a comparison between syntagmatic evidence obtained from a corpus study and speakers' judgments, we have identified a measure of eventivity for nouns. The comparison with annotated data proves its soundness.

Abstract
This paper aims at shedding lights on the complex semantic concept of "event noun". Starting with the working hypothesis that linguistic context and corpus-based distributional information can be decisive, we propose a measure for eventivity that relies on syntagmatic cues. By means of a comparison between syntagmatic evidence obtained from a corpus study and speakers' judgments, we have identified a measure of eventivity for nouns. The comparison with annotated data proves its soundness.File in questo prodotto:
