Adverbs, Surprisingly
This paper begins with the premise that adverbs are neglected in computational linguistics. This view derives from two analyses: a literature review and a novel adverb dataset to probe a state-of-the-art language model, thereby uncovering systematic gaps in accounts for adverb meaning. We suggest that using Frame Semantics for characterizing word meaning, as in FrameNet, provides a promising approach to adverb analysis, given its ability to describe ambiguity, semantic roles, and null instantiation.

How Do You Do It? Fine-Grained Action Understanding with Pseudo-Adverbs
We aim to understand how actions are performed and identify subtle differences, such as 'fold firmly' vs. 'fold gently'. To this end, we propose a method which recognizes adverbs across different actions. However, such f…
