Problem Set 6
Due: Friday, Dec 9 2005
From Saeed, chapter 9:
- Ex. 9.6.
- Ex. 9.7.
- Ex. 9.9.
- Provide a GL (Generative
Lexicon) representation for the following words:
- Nouns: chair, lettuce, door.
- Verbs: open, buy, translate.
For
the verbs, you'll also have to decide how to represent the event
structure in the feature structure formalism used for the Qualia and
Argument Structure levels.
Both section 9.7 in Saeed and the intro to GL posted on the course webpage
can be of help to you.
An additional valuable reference is:
