| Abstract | This paper presents a corpus of annotated motion events and their eventstructure. We consider motion events triggered by a set of motion evoking wordsand contemplate both literal and figurative interpretations of them. Figurativemotion events are extracted into the same event structure but are marked asfigurative in the corpus. To represent the event structure of motion, we usethe FrameNet annotation standard, which encodes motion in over 70 frames. Inorder to acquire a diverse set of texts that are different from FrameNet's, wecrawled blog and news feeds for five different domains: sports, newswire,finance, military, and gossip. We then annotated these documents with anautomatic FrameNet parser. Its output was manually corrected to account formissing and incorrect frames as well as missing and incorrect frame elements.The corpus, UTD-MotionEvent, may act as a resource for semantic parsing,detection of figurative language, spatial reasoning, and other tasks. |
