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.
