In previous work by Siegel and McKeown (2000), Zarcone and Lenci (2008) and Friedrich and Palmer (2014), the event type of corpus utterances is predicted on the basis of syntactic and semantic features of the main predicate and the linguistic context thereof.
in this study, we investigate lexical (inner) aspect through a French lexical resource, "Les Verbes Français" (François et al., 2007), a valence lexicon of French verbs providing a detailed morpho-syntactic and semantic description for each reading (use) of a verb.
