title = "Aspectual flexibility increases with agentivity and concreteness a computational classification experiment on polysemous verbs",
abstract = "We present an experimental study making use of a machine learning approach to identify the factors that affect the aspectual value that characterises polysemous verbs under each of their readings. The study is based on various morpho-syntactic and semantic features collected from a French lexical resource and on a gold standard aspectual classification of verb readings designed by an expert. Our results support the tested hypothesis, namely that agentivity and abstractness influence lexical aspect.",
