| "text": "The modern notion of semantic -or thematicroles stems from the lexical semantic work of Gruber 1965 (his thematic relations) and Fillmore 1968 (so-called deep cases), and was popularised by Jackendoff 1972 , but traces of this concept may already be found in the notion of k\u0101raka in the writings of the Sanskrit grammarian P\u0101n . ini (4th century BC); see, e.g., Dowty 1991 for a historical introduction. Fillmore's deep cases are Agentive, Dative, Instrumental, Factive, Locative, Objective, as well as Benefactive, Time and Comitative, but many other sets of semantic roles may be found in the literature; for example, Dalrymple 2001, p. 206, cites -after Bresnan and Kanerva 1989 - the following ranked list of thematic roles: Agent, Benefactive, Recipient/Experiencer, Instrument, Theme/Patient, Locative.", | |

| "text": "In Natural Language Processing (NLP), one of the most popular repertoires of semantic roles is that of VerbNet (Kipper et al. 2000; http://verbs.colorado.edu/ mpalmer/projects/verbnet.html), a valence lexicon of English based on Levin's (1993) classification of verbs according to the diathesis phenomena they exhibit. The VerbNet webpage states that it contains 3769 lemmata divided into 5257 senses. There are 30 semantic roles used in VerbNet 3.2, 1 including such standard roles as Agent, Beneficiary and Instrument, but also more specialised roles such as Asset (for quantities), Material (for stuff things are made of) or Pivot (a theme more central to an event than the theme expressed by another argument). This resource is widely used in NLP, and it was one of the main lexical resources behind the Unified Lexicon of English (Crouch and King, 2005) , a part of an LFG-based semantic parser (Crouch and King, 2006) employed in tasks such as question answering (Bobrow et al., 2007a) and textual entailment (Bobrow et al., 2007b) .", | |

There are 18 thematic roles proposed in Sowa 2000, p. 508, including standard roles such as Agent, Recipient and Instrument, but also 4 temporal and 4 spatial roles. Unlike in case of VerbNet, there is no corpus or dictionary showing numerous examples of the acutal use of such roles -just a few examples are given (on pp. 506-510).

The aim of this study was to estimate how difficult it would be to create a corpus of sentences with verbs' arguments annotated with such semantic roles. For this purpose, 37 verbs were selected more or less at random and 843 instances of arguments of these verbs (in 393 sentences, but only one verb was considered in each sentence) were identified in a corpus. In two experiments, the same 7 human annotators were asked to label these arguments with VerbNet and with Sowa's semantic roles.", | |

| "text": "In both cases interannotator agreement (IAA) was below our expectations, given the fact that VerbNet comes with short descriptions of semantic roles and a corpus of illustrative examples, and that Sowa's classification could be (and was for this experiment) formalised as a decision tree. For VerbNet roles, Fleiss's \u03ba (called Fleiss's Multi\u03c0 in Artstein and Poesio 2008, as it is actually a generalisation of Scott's \u03c0 rather than Cohen's \u03ba) is equal to 0.617, and for Sowa's system it is a little higher, 0.648. According to the common wisdom (reflected in Wikipedia's entry for \"Fleiss' kappa\"), values between 0.41 and 0.60 reflect moderate agreement and between 0.61 and 0.80 -substantial agreement. Hence, the current results could be interpreted as moderately substantial agreement. However, Artstein and Poesio 2008, p. 591 , question this received wisdom and state that \"only values above 0.8 ensured an annotation of reasonable quality\". This opinion is confirmed by the more detailed analysis of the distribution of (dis)agreement provided in Tab. 1. The top table gives the number of arguments for which the most commonly assigned Sowa's role was assigned by n annotators (n ranges from 2 to 7; not from 1, as there were no arguments that would be assigned 7 different roles by the 7 annotators) and the most commonly assigned VerbNet role was assigned by m annotators (m also ranges from 2 to 7). For example, the cell in the row labelled 7 and in the column labelled V e r b N e t 2 3 4 5 6 7 2 6 8 3 0 0 0 17 S 3 8 39 39 17 25 3 131 o 4 2 26 49 37 20 5 139 w 5 4 11 48 45 11 15 6 contains the information that 52 arguments were such that all annotators agreed on Sowa's role and 6 agreed on a VerbNet role. The final row and the final column contain the usual marginals; e.g., out of 843 arguments, in case of Sowa's system 253 arguments were annotated unanimously, and in case of VerbNet roles -323 arguments. The lower table gives the same information normalised to percentages. Note that for a significant percent of examples (almost 18% in case of Sowa's system and almost 14% in case of VerbNet) there is no majority decision and that the concentration of examples around the diagonal means that the lack of consensus is largely independent of the choice of the role system.", | |

The answer to this question determines the distinction between Patient and Theme in Sowa's system.

Furthermore, some emphasis is put on volitionality in Sowa's system: the initiatior of an action can be either Agent or Effector, depending on whether (s)he causes the action voluntarily or not -something that is often difficult to decide even when a context of a sentence is given.", | |

For example, in The horse jumped over the fence, the horse is -somewhat counterintuitively -marked as Theme, as it must bear the same role as in Tom jumped the horse over the fence, where the Agent role is already taken by Tom. Other commonly confused pairs are Stimulus and Theme, Topic and Theme, and Patient and Theme. Moreover, there are cases where more than one role genuinely (not as a result of confusion) matches a given argument. For example, in the Polish sentence Ona \u0142aduje si\u0119 w foremk\u0119, kt\u00f3r\u0105 kto\u015b jej podsun\u0105\u0142 'She squeezes/loads herself into a/the mould that somebody offered her', the argument w foremk\u0119 'into mould' can be rea-sonably marked as both: a spatial Destination and a functional Result.", | |

For example, returning to the sentence A doctor is treating a girl, it seems that neither of the two systems has an obvious role for the person being cured (hence the impression of potential suitability of a number of roles). In Polish sentences involving the verb LECZY\u0106 'treat, cure', the object of treatment was variously marked as Agent, Beneficiary, Patient or Source when using VerbNet roles, and as Agent, Beneficiary, Experiencer, Patient, Recipient or Result when using Sowa's system. Thus, in Zwierz\u0119 jest leczone z tych chor\u00f3b 'An animal is treated for these diseases', in the VerbNet experiment the animal was marked as Beneficiary (by 3 annotators), as Patient (\u00d73) and as Source (\u00d71), and in the Sowa experiment -as Beneficiary (\u00d72), as Patient (\u00d72), as Recipient (\u00d72) and as Result (\u00d71).

| "text": "In Jaworski and Przepi\u00f3rkowski 2014 we propose to define 'semantic roles' on the basis of morphosyntactic information, including morphological cases, following the Slavic linguistic tradition stemming from the work of Roman Jakobson (see, e.g., Jakobson 1971a,b) . In particular, since the broader context of the work reported here is the development of a syntactico-semantic LFG (Lexical-Functional Grammar; Bresnan 2001; Dalrymple 2001) parser for Polish, we build on the usual LFG approach of obtaining semantic representations on the basis of f-structures, i.e., non-tree-configurational syntactic representations (as opposed to more surfacy tree-configurational c-structures) containing information about predicates, grammatical functions and morphosyntactic features; this so-called description-by-analysis (DBA) approach has been adopted for German (Frank and Erk, 2004; Frank and Semeck\u00fd, 2004; Frank, 2004) , English (Crouch and King, 2006) and Japanese (Umemoto, 2006) . In the usual DBA approach, semantic roles are added to the resulting representations on the basis of semantic dictionaries external to LFG grammars (Frank and Semeck\u00fd, 2004; Frank, 2004; King, 2005, 2006) . When such FrameNet-or VerbNet-like dictionaries are not available, grammatical function names (subject, object, etc.) are used instead of semantic roles (Umemoto, 2006) . Unfortunately, this latter approach is detrimental for tasks such as textual entailment, as LFG grammatical functions represent the surface relations, so, e.g., a passivised (deep) object bears the grammatical function of (surface) subject. Other diathesis phenomena also result in different grammatical functions assigned to arguments standing in the same semantic relation to the verb, e.g., the recipient of the verb GIVE will normally be assigned a different grammatical function depending on whether it is realised as an NP (as in John gave Mary a book) or as a PP (John gave a book to Mary).", | |

| "text": "Although currently no reasonably-sized dictionaries of Polish containing semantic role information are available, we do not resort to grammatical functions as names of semantic roles, but rather guess approximations of semantic roles on the basis of grammatical functions and morphosyntactic features. For example, subjects of active verbs are marked as R0 (the 'semantic role' approximating the Agent), but subjects of passsive verbs, as well as objects of active verbs, are marked as R1 (roughly, the Undergoer, i.e., Patient, Theme or Product). 3 Apart from grammatical functions and the voice value of the verb, also morphosyntactic features of arguments are taken into account, especially, for PP arguments, the preposition lemma and the grammatical case it governs. So, for example, both the OBJ-TH (dative NP) arguments and certain OBL (PP) arguments, e.g., those headed by the preposition DLA 'for', are translated into the R2 'semantic role', which approximates the Beneficiary and Recipient semantic roles. This results in the same semantic representations of Papkin upolowa\u0142 dla Klary krokodyla 'Papkin.NOM hunted a crocodile.ACC for Klara', lit. 'Papkin hunted for Klara crocodile', and Papkin upolowa\u0142 Klarze krokodyla, lit. 'Papkin.NOM hunted Klara.DAT crocodile.ACC'.", | |

| "text": "The advantage of this morphosyntax-based approach is that it is fully deterministic (only one 'semantic role' may be assigned to a given argument) and that it ensures high uniqueness of any 'semantic role' in the set of arguments of any verb (only 6 of the 347 sentences considered above, i.e., 1.73%, have the same 'semantic role' asigned to a couple of arguments, compared with 2.47% and 4.36% in the experiments described in this paper; see Jaworski and Przepi\u00f3rkowski 2014 for additional data). The disadvantage is that sometimes wrong decisions are made; for example, OBL arguments of type Z[inst] 'with' may have one of at least three meanings: Perlative (R7), Thematic (R1) and Co-agentive (R0); in fact, the sentence Zr\u00f3b z nim porz\u0105dek, lit. 'do with him order', is ambiguous between the last two and may mean either 'Deal with him' (R1) or 'Clean up with him' (R0). However, the procedure will always assign only one of these 'roles' to such Z[inst] arguments (currently R7).", | |

| "text": "When developing a semantic parser, it makes sense to aim at neo-Davidsonian representations with semantic roles relating arguments to events, as such representations facilitate textual entailment and similar tasks. In this paper we reported on experiments which show that the practical usability of two popular repertoires of semantic roles in grammar engineering is limited: as the IAA is low, systems trained on corpora annotated with such semantic roles are bound to be inconsistent, limiting the usefulness of resulting semantic representations in such tasks. In case of a language that does not have a resouce such as VerbNet, the question arises then whether it makes sense to invest considerable time and effort into creating it.", | |

Admittedly, this proposal is currently rather programmatic, as it is supported only with anectodal evidence. It seems plausible that the usefulness of resulting representations for textual entailment should be comparable to -or maybe even better than -that of semantic representations produced by semantic role labellers trained on rather inconsistently annotated data, but this should be quantified by further experiments. 4 If this hypothesis turns out to be true, however, the method we propose has the clear advantage of being overwhelmingly cheaper: instead of many person-years of building a resource such as Verb-Net (and then training a role labeller, etc.), a couple of days of a skilled researcher are required to define and test reasonable translations from (morpho)syntax to 'semantic roles'.", | |
