| Abstract: |
Action verbs have many meanings, covering actions in different ontological types. Moreover, each language categorizes action in its
own way. One verb can refer to many different actions and one action can be identified by more than one verb. The range of variations
within and across languages is largely unknown, causing trouble in all translation tasks. IMAGACT is a corpus-based ontology of
action concepts, derived from English and Italian spontaneous speech corpora, which makes use of the universal language of images to
identify the different action types extended by verbs referring to action in English, Italian, Chinese and Spanish. This paper presents the
IMAGACT search interface and the various linguistic information the user can derive from it. IMAGACT makes explicit the variation
of meaning of action verbs within one language and allows comparisons of verb variations within and across languages. Because the
action concepts are represented with videos, extension into new languages beyond those presently implemented in IMAGACT is done
using competence-based judgments by mother-tongue informants, without intense lexicographic work involving underdetermined
semantic descriptions. |
