'tough' ambiguity #173

Closed nschneid closed 8 years ago

nschneid commented 8 years ago

Paraphrasing from an article: "the law makes prosecution tougher". This is ambiguous, with opposite implications!

Reading 1: law makes it more difficult to prosecute (tough-02)

(m / make-02
   :ARG0 (l / law)
   :ARG1 (t / tough-02
            :ARG1 (p / prosecute-01)
            :degree (m3 / more)))

Reading 2: law makes the prosecution more vigorous, tough on crime (tough-03)

(m2 / make-02
    :ARG0 (l2 / law
    :ARG1 (t2 / tough-03
              :manner-of (p2 / prosecute-01)
              :degree (m4 / more)))

(Is :manner-of correct, or should a numbered argument be used for an event that doles out toughness?)
