Passonneau Paoli Research Center UNISYS Defense Systems2 517 Paoli PA 19301 USA ABSTRACT The PUNDIT system processes natural language descriptions of situations and the intervals over which they hold using an algorithm that integrates aspect and tense logic. It analyses the tense and aspect of the main verb to generate representations of three types of situations states processes and events and to locate the situations with respect to the time at which the text was produced. Each situation type has a distinct temporal structure represented in terms of one or more intervals. Further every interval has two features whose different values capture the aspectual differences between the three different situation types. Capturing these differences makes it possible to represent very precisely the times for which predications are asserted to hold. 1. Introduction This paper describes a semantics of situations and the intervals over which they hold that is neither situation semantics Barwise and Perry 1983 nor interval semantics Dowty 1979 1982 1986 Taylor 1977 . It is unfortunately difficult to avoid the overlap in terminology because what will be described here shares certain goals and assumptions with each. The concerns addressed here however arise from the computational task of processing references to situations in natural language text in order to represent what predicates are asserted to hold over what entities and when. Situation as used here pertains to the linguistic means for referring to things in the This work was supported by DARPA under contract N00014-85-C-0012 administered by the Office of Naval Research.
