AMR Dict additions: own, reflexive pronouns, through, within, without

[uhermjakob]

I added some entries to the AMR Annotation Dictionary (http://www.isi.edu/~ulf/amr/lib/amr-dict.html):

• own
• reflexive pronouns
• through
• within
• without

The additions are largely based on solid precedent.

The most novel part is treatment of phrases such as "within 5 minutes" which I modeled after other temporal AMR conventions such as "after 5 minutes" and "the next minutes" rather than the more superficial treatment that I saw in some of the existing annotations (some with :prep-within).

Also, going with the majority of existing annotations, the sections under own and reflexive pronouns recommend to drop those words if they are added only for emphasis.

Any suggestions, feedback?

If you're interested in the preposition stuff I've been doing with @MarthaSPalmer et al., we've analyzed through in detail: http://www.ark.cs.cmu.edu/PrepWiki/index.php/Category:Through. The only thing that jumps out at me is the fictive motion sense of 'located on the other side of', as in "the restroom is just through that door". We treat that as a location rather than a path, though I can see an argument either way.

You can also see senses/examples for within and without, though we haven't mapped them to coarse-grained categories ("supersenses") yet.

I think the "within quantity" group corresponds to what we are calling Approximators. It seems to me there is a closely related but distinct sense meaning 'up to (length of time) from now'; our temporal hierarchy puts this under DeicticTime.

Thanks, Nathan. Very useful indeed (1) to help make sure the AMR Annotation Dictionary has proper coverage of the range of meanings of prepositions and (2) to stay in sync with other annotation projects such as these as far as feasible.

Generally, your prepositions sometimes seem to have a finer degree of granularity.
