tagger/parser-friendly: ideally 1 sem tag, like PoS etc.
ideally, not more finegrained than what can be
disambiguated by linguistic context
– major classes should allow formal tests or feature contrasting
– e.g. ±HUM, ±MOVE, type of preposition (“durante”, “em”),
±CONTROL, test-verbs (comer, beber, dizer, produzir)
careful with “metaphor polysemy explosion”
– NOT inspired by classical dictionaries
systematic relations between classes may be left
underspecified,
e.g. --> , --> , -->
, -->
