Importantly, that work has argued for a principled separation of the semantic role in a scene from the function coded by morphosyntax. Here, we ask whether this approach can be generalized beyond adpositions and possessives to cover all scene participants—including subjects and objects—directly, without reference to a frame lexicon. We present new guidelines for English and the results of an interannotator agreement study. %R 10.18653/v1/W19-3316 %U https://aclanthology.org/W19-3316 %U https://doi.org/10.18653/v1/W19-3316 %P 141-147
