How represent (novel) predicates not in propbank #267

Closed flipz357 closed 1 year ago

flipz357 commented 1 year ago

I found this sense of "own" in Cambridge dictionary which is not in PropBank:

I can think of describe the first sentence as

defeat-01
      a0 we
      a1 they
      mod/extent total

But what about the one in the second sentence? I guess it means something like the stage performance of Beyonce was super great. Given this interpretation I could build an AMR.

So if we miss a predicate should we describe the meaning with other structure as good as possible (possibly using other dictionary definitions)? Or does AMR have a different approach to this problem?

The -00 suffix is used for missing PropBank frames. So this would be own-00.

I see, that makes sense indeed!
