We introduce a new annotation scheme, corpus, and task for the disambiguation of prepositions and possessives in English.

Being highly analytic, English relies heavily on word order and closed-class function words like prepositions, determiners, and conjunctions. Though function words bear little semantic content, they are nevertheless crucial to the meaning. Consider prepositions: they serve, for example, to convey place and time (We met at/in/outside the restaurant for/after an hour), to express configurational relationships like quantity, possession, part/whole, and membership (the coats of dozens of children in the class), and to indicate semantic roles in argument structure (Grandma cooked dinner for the children * nathan.schneider@georgetown.edu",

Semantic interpretation requires some form of sense disambiguation, but arriving at a linguistic representation that is flexible enough to generalize across usages and types, yet simple enough to support reliable annotation, has been a daunting challenge ( \u00a72). This work represents a new attempt to strike that balance. Building on prior work, we argue for an approach to describing English preposition and possessive semantics with broad coverage. Given the semantic overlap between prepositions and possessives (the hood of the car vs. the car's hood or its hood), we analyze them using the same inventory of semantic labels. 1 Our contributions include:",

                "text": "Studies of preposition semantics in linguistics and cognitive science have generally focused on the domains of space and time (e.g., Herskovits, 1986; Bowerman and Choi, 2001; Regier, 1996; Khetarpal et al., 2009; Xu and Kemp, 2010; Zwarts and Winter, 2000) or on motivated polysemy structures that cover additional meanings beyond core spatial senses (Brugman, 1981; Lakoff, 1987; Tyler and Evans, 2003; Lindstromberg, 2010) . Possessive constructions can likewise denote a number of semantic relations, and various factors-including semantics-influence whether attributive possession in English will be expressed with of, or with 's and possessive pronouns (the 'genitive alternation '; Taylor, 1996; Nikiforidou, 1991; Rosenbach, 2002; Heine, 2006; Wolk et al., 2013; Shih et al., 2015) . Corpus-based computational work on semantic disambiguation specifically of prepositions and possessives 2 falls into two categories: the lexicographic/word sense disambiguation approach (Litkowski and Hargraves, 2005, 2007; Litkowski, 2014; Ye and Baldwin, 2007; Saint-Dizier, 2006; Dahlmeier et al., 2009; Tratz and Hovy, 2009; Hovy et al., 2010 Hovy et al., , 2011 Tratz and Hovy, 2013) , and the semantic class approach (Moldovan et al., 2004; Badulescu and Moldovan, 2009; O'Hara and Wiebe, 2009; Roth, 2011, 2013; Schneider et al., 2015 Schneider et al., , 2016 , see also M\u00fcller et al., 2012 . The lexicographic approach can capture finer-grained meaning distinctions, at a risk of relying upon idiosyncratic and potentially incomplete dictionary definitions. The semantic class approach, which we follow here, focuses on commonalities in meaning across multiple lexical items, and aims to general-ize more easily to new types and usages.",

We address that gap here. Second, 75 categories is an unwieldy number for both annotators and disambiguation systems. Some are quite specialized and extremely rare in STREUSLE 3.0, which causes data sparseness issues for supervised learning. In fact, the only published disambiguation system for preposition supersenses collapsed the distinctions to just 12 labels (Gonen and Goldberg, 2016) . remarked that solving the aforementioned problem could remove the need for many of the specialized categories and make the taxonomy more tractable for annotators and systems. We substantiate this here, defining a new hierarchy with just 50 categories (SNACS, \u00a73) and providing disambiguation results for the full set of distinctions.",

In this example, then, there is overlap between locational meaning and organizationalbelonging meaning. (5b) is similar except the for suggests a notion of BENEFICIARY: the employee is working on behalf of the employer. Annotators would face a conundrum if forced to pick a single label when multiple ones appear to be relevant. Schneider et al. (2016) handled overlap via multiple inheritance, but entertaining a new label for every possible case of overlap is impractical, as this would result in a proliferation of supersenses. Instead, suggest a construal analysis in which the lexical semantic contribution, or henceforth the function, of the preposition itself may be distinct from the semantic role or relation mediated by the preposition in a given sentence, called the scene role. The notion of scene role is a widely accepted idea that underpins the use of semantic or thematic roles: semantics licensed by the governor 7 of the prepositional phrase dictates its relationship to the prepositional phrase. The innovative claim is that, in addition to a preposition's relationship with its head, the prepositional choice introduces another layer of meaning or construal that brings additional nuance, creating the difficulty we see in the annotation of (5a, 5b). Construal is notated by ROLE;FUNCTION. Thus, (5a) would be annotated ORGROLE;LOCUS and (5b) as ORGROLE;BENEFICIARY to expose their common truth-semantic meaning but slightly different portrayals owing to the different prepositions.",

The sentences from the English Web Treebank also comprise the primary reference treebank for English Universal Dependencies (UD; Nivre et al., 2016), and we bundle the UD version 2 syntax alongside our annotations. Table 1 shows the total number of tokens present and those that we annotated. Altogether, 5,455 tokens were annotated for scene role and function. The new hierarchy and annotation guidelines were developed by consensus. The original preposition supersense annotations were placed in a spreadsheet and discussed. While most tokens were unambiguously annotated, some cases required a new analysis throughout the corpus. For example, the functions of for were so broad that they needed to be (manually) clustered before mapping clusters onto hierarchy labels. Unusual or rare contexts also presented difficulties. Where the correct supersense remained unclear, specific instructions and examples were included in the guidelines. Possessives were not covered by the original preposition supersense annotations, and thus were annotated from scratch. 8 Special labels were applied to tokens deemed not to be prepositions or possessives evoking semantic relations, including uses of the infinitive marker that do not fall within the scope of SNACS (487 tokens: a majority of infinitives) and preposition-initial discourse expressions (e.g. after_all) and coordinating conjunctions (as_well_as). 9 Other tokens requiring special labels are the opaque possessive slot in a multiword idiom (12 tokens), and tokens where unintelligble, incomplete, marginal, or nonnative usage made it impossible to assign a supersense (48 tokens). Table 2 shows the most and least common labels occurring as scene role and function. Three labels never appear in the annotated corpus: TEMPORAL from the CIRCUMSTANCE hierarchy, and PARTI-CIPANT and CONFIGURATION which are both the highest supersense in their respective hierarchies. While all remaining supersenses are attested as scene roles, there are some that never occur as functions, such as ORIGINATOR, which is most often realized as POSSESSOR or SOURCE, and EXPERI-ENCER. It is interesting to note that every subtype of CIRCUMSTANCE (except TEMPORAL) appears as both scene role and function, whereas many of the subtypes of the other two hierarchies are lim-ited to either role or function. This reflects our view that prepositions primarily capture circumstantial notions such as space and time, but have been extended to cover other semantic relations. 10",

The genre is markedly different from online reviews-it is quite literary, and employs archaic or poetic figures of speech. It is also a translation from French, contributing to the markedness of the language. This text is therefore a challenge for an annotation scheme based on colloquial contemporary English. We addressed this issue by running 3 practice rounds of annotation on small passages from The Little Prince, both to assess whether the scheme was applicable without major guidelines changes and to prepare the annotators for this genre. For the final annotation study, we chose chapters 4 and 5, in which 242 markables of 52 types were identified heuristically ( \u00a76.2). The types of, to, in, as, from, and for, as well as possessives, occurred at least 10 times.
