Representing the event structure evoked by verbs has been at the heart of recent theoretical and computational linguistic models (Fillmore et al., 2003; Banarescu et al., 2013; Haji\u010d et al., 2012; Abend and Rappoport, 2013) . Verb meaning is a crucial determinant of the syntactic realization of arguments and their semantic interpretation within events (Fillmore, 1985; Talmy, 1988; Levin, 1993) . Conversely, argument structure constructions contribute much of the semantic structure of events (Goldberg, 1995; Croft, 2012) .",

Transfer of Possession verbs use the same inventory of argument structure constructions as physical verbs to describe the semantic relations between participants. Communication verbs use only some of the Figure 1 : A mapping of a Place causal chain to the Application network physical argument structure constructions 1 . As shown above, verbs of giving and telling use the physical placing argument structure construction (1), verbs of taking use the physical removal construction (2), verbs of providing use the physical covering construction (3), and verbs of depriving use the physical uncovering construction (4). 2 Metaphorical cross-domain mappings of constructional patterns are not uncommon. The use of metaphor in language is pervasive (Lakoff and Johnson, 1980; Gibbs Jr. and Steen, 1997 ) and a structured representation for various types of figurative language is crucial to many NLP tasks (Bolognesi et al., 2019; Hwang et al., 2017) . As the examples (1-4) show, there is a need for a systematic representation that makes metaphorical correspondences between argument structure constructions explicit. In this paper, we propose a model that captures shared semantic elements that lead to argument structure constructions being extended across semantic domains. We argue that allowing for metaphorical use of argument structure constructions will prevent a proliferation of distinct constructional semantic annotations.",

We follow Goldberg (1995) in recognizing the separate contributions of argument structure constructions and verbal semantics to the specification of event structure. Our representation builds on the notion of transmission of force and its relevance to argument realization (Talmy, 1988; Croft, 1991; Croft, 2012) . We identify a limited set of force-dynamic relations between event participants (cf. Croft et al., 2016) . The relations can be causal (Talmy, 1988) , e.g. a FORCE relation between an Agent and a Theme in She hit the ball, or non-causal (Croft, 1991) , e.g. a spatial PATH relation between two physical entities, as in Italy borders France. Force-dynamic relations are used to construct verbal semantic networks and constructional causal chains. The event structure representations also include information about the type of change that each participant undergoes over the course of the event.",

"text": "The constructional representation for Place (see Figure 1 ) identifies a causal FORCE relation between the initiator Linda and the theme picture which undergoes motion. The theme is in a PATH relation with the Ground wall. Depending on the argument structure construction, either the Ground or the Moved Entity is construed as the incremental theme. In the placing construal, example (1a), the incremental theme is the Moved Entity because it is syntactically realized as the direct object. The Moved Entity is labeled +MER to indicate that the path of motion is to the Ground. This notation con- trasts with removal events, in which the incremental theme moves away from the Ground and is labeled -MER. The Ground in the placing construal is EXIST; it doesn't undergo any change in the event. Placing and removal verbs share the same verbal event structure which is referred to as the Application network in this paper, see Figure 2a . The motivation for having a single network for these verbs is that they share the same force-dynamic relations between participants, and both construe the incremental theme as mereological. The Moved Entity and the Ground are both labeled mereological (MER) in the verbal network. This label does not specify whether the verb describes a placing or removal event and allows for either constructional construal to map to the network. The type of change that the Phys Entity undergoes in the verbal network is unspecified. Its specification is dependent on the volitionality of the initiator and is therefore determined contextually.",

Verbs such as pick up or drop describe this type of self-directed action, as shown in Figure 2b . The result state of such an event is a holding event expressed in English with verbs such as hold. Talmy (1988) refers to this type of force-dynamic relation as 'extended causation of rest' in contrast to other physical Application events. We describe this type of Application event as a Constrain event. The Constrain event structure evokes two participants: a Phys Entity and Theme. In our analysis, we use a superordinate Force relation to describe the force-dynamic interaction between the Phys Entity and the Theme. The argument realization of participants in Force and Constrain events is the same. Hence, there is no constructional motivation to distinguish these force-dynamic types from each other.",

For example, the conceptual metaphor TIME IS MONEY originates in our understanding of time as a valuable commodity that can be wasted, spent, or invested.

Relevant descriptions lack depth and do not provide explanations for underlying semantic motivations that lead to metaphorical extensions.

The correspondences between the two semantic domains are sufficient to motivate a metaphorical mapping in which the transitive Constrain argument structure construction is extended to Possession verbs. Figure 4b demonstrates that the Application and Transfer verbal networks also share semantic features in their representations. The participants undergo the same type of internal change over the course of these semantically distinct events. Both networks consist of an initiator which is external to the noncausal relation between participants.",

We used the VerbNet verb classification (Kipper et al., 2007) to extract examples with verbs from VerbNet's possession classes. We later added send examples and additional physical examples with Application verbs to have a more balanced number of physical and metaphorical examples in the dataset. The sample excluded idiomatic examples with possession verbs (e.g. I'm pretty calm about things and like to take things as they come), examples in which the verb was followed by the preposition without (e.g. I had to leave without a refund) and other examples with leave that describe metaphorical Motion, not Possession (e.g. [...] only 15 months until we can leave nationwide and move over to a proper btl mortgage). A carefully pre-sorted annotation sample was needed to ensure that annotators encountered only examples that were addressed in the guidelines. The primary goal of the exercise was to test how well annotators can correctly identify metaphorical events given that the constructions used with metaphorical and non-metaphorical events are the same and are annotated the same way. High interannotator agreement for the semantic domain (annotated as EVENT DOMAIN in the exercise) would support our proposed simplified representation for constructional semantics which relies on accurate semantic domain identification. The annotation scheme used in the exercise is an extension of our existing annotation scheme devised for examples in VerbNet classes with verbs in the physical domain (Croft et al., 2016) . Each example was annotated for EVENT DOMAIN and the constructional semantics by using FD1 and FD2 labels. EVENT DOMAIN was not previously used in our annotation scheme. It was introduced in the current scheme to distinguish metaphorical uses of argument structure constructions from non-metaphorical ones.

This was particularly problematic when these verbs occurred with a theme that referred to a physical object. In such contexts, both verbs evoke temporary control over the object as well as a physical force event. There were two main types of these errors. In one case, the error with take and grab verbs resulted from incorrectly recognizing whether the physical event or the social control relation was more salient to the interpretation of the event. For instance, in I quickly grabbed sentence strips out of the closet, the verb describes a physical removal event; however, the event also evokes that the Agent has control over the object by being spatially colocated with it. The annotation of this example as Physical:Mereology reflects that the physical event is more salient in the interpretation when compared to the control relation between the Agent and the moved entity, which is only a precondition for the physical event to take place. In other cases, take occurred in a context in which the verb described a use-type relation, e.g. If you take a flash light and shine it through the eggs [...] . Alerting the annotators to the fact that take could be used to describe a FORCE relation in physical manipulation events in the annotation guidelines should result in fewer errors of this type.

About 14% of FD2 errors resulted from annotators incorrectly including a null instantiated participant in the annotation. For example, some annotators annotated the example What year did Mussolini seize power in Italy? as Volitional Remove, assuming that an original possessor was part of the constructional semantics. However, in this context, take does not describe a removal event, it describes an obtaining event, i.e. Mussolini gaining power. The correct annotation label for FD1 and FD2 was therefore Self-volitional Force. Approximately 25% of FD2 errors resulted from a null instantiated participant not being included in the annotation when it should have been. For example, in we are collecting a premium up front and their total cost is known up front, the original possessor from whom the premium is collected should be part of the constructional semantics leading to the annotation Volitional Remove. If an annotator did not recognize that a null instantiated participant was semantically evoked, the FD2 label would have been incorrectly annotated as Force.
