Inconsistent treatment of "no-longer" #111

I've noticed that the phrase "no longer" is treated in several different ways in our releases, depending upon the site. Here are some examples:

I think the use of just "no longer" without negation is based on our discussion of "no one," but here it really seems necessary to capture the negation of the event. How should we be treating these?

agreed -- too much variability. this also happens with "any more", "so far", "any longer", etc.

1) most spare alternative -- just put ":polarity -", which captures 80% of what it means, though it does miss "polarity was positive sometime in the past"

1.5) :polarity - :time (n / any-longer)

2) (b / become-01 :arg1 (hunger-01 :polarity - :arg1 (i / i))) -- may get out of hand?

3) new frame? (new frames can solve everything!!)

4) :compared-to
