Corpus-Based Linguistic Indicators for Aspectual Classification

Siegel, Eric V.

Fourteen indicators that measure the frequency of lexico-syntactic phenomena linguistically related to aspectual class are applied to aspectual classification. This group of indicators is shown to improve classification performance for two aspectual distinctions, stativity and com- pletedness (i.e., tellcity), over unrestricted sets of verbs from two corpora. Several of these indicators have not previously been discovered to correlate with aspect.
