A Scalable Tool for Measuring Manner and Result Verbs in Developmental Language Research

arXiv CS.CL

ArXi:2605.16654v1 Announce Type: new Manner and result verbs encode different aspects of event structure and have been discussed in developmental work as a potentially informative distinction for studying early verb learning. However, this distinction remains difficult to measure at scale because large annotated resources for manner and result classification are not currently available. We present a computational approach for identifying manner and result verbs in sentence context.
