DEar Adam----<br><br>If you figure out a useful program for this----I would be interested. There are going to be <br>very tough cases like: <br> I saw that John hit Bill<br>where "hit" has no tense markings, but we understand it that way. <br>
So how about first just looking for the overt cases, with -ed, etc. Then you<br>might look for all cases under tensed matrix verbs, and seek a subset of those<br>with ambiguous verbs.<br> Ultimately, if you are sensitive to verb variation in your instructions, you will<br>
probably be able to be reasonably successful. If you take an overly simple approach---<br>as many searches do--the results will be uninterpretable.<br><br> If you succeed, I'd like to see the results.<br><br>best, Tom Roeper<br>

Hi,<br><br>Using the various search protocols and meta-data levels, is it possible to detect embedded tensed clauses, i.e. embedded clauses with a tensed verb? I have been trying to create a combination of criteria, involving, e.g. CPRED, COMP, CJCT, CMOD, CPZR, etc., but with a low success rate.<br>
<br>Any and all help would be greatly appreciated.<br><br>Thanks,<br>Adam<span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br clear="all"><br>-- <br><font face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif"><b>Adam Goodkind </b><br><b>w</b> <a href="http://www.adamgoodkind.com/" style="color:blue;text-decoration:none" target="_blank">adamgoodkind.com</a> <br>
