...[1994]).

For other approaches to the design of natural language querying systems, see, for example, Warren and Pereira [1982], Shapiro and Rapaport [1987], Allen and Schubert [1991], and others.

...surprise:

As shown in (11), START translates a surprise sentence into two T-expressions, but to simplify the exposition we do not show here the second T-expression, <object2 related-to subject>, describing the relation between the property (object2) and its possessor (subject).

...class.

These verbs have been the subject of extensive study in the linguistic literature because of this and other characteristic properties that set this class apart. (Postal [1971], Van Oosten [1980], Pesetsky [1987], Belletti and Rizzi [1988], Grimshaw [1990], Levin [1993] and many others).

...easily.

For a discussion of the system's treatment of other lexical alternations and verb classes see Katz and Levin [1988]. For a thorough classification of English verb classes and alternations see Levin [1993].

...annotations

In the current version of the START system, most annotations are entered manually, although we are experimenting with several approaches that will make this process more automatic.

...base

It was brought to the Web with the help of the Common Lisp Hypermedia Server (Mallery [1994]).
