For example, the verb catch will contain counts on the dimension for kick introduced by the direct-object ball and counts on the dimension for contract introduced by the direct-object cold.
as in the Erk and Padó approach, the vector for a verb can be seen as a vector of similar verbs, thus making this notion of second-order dependency compatible with that used in work on word sense discrimination (Schütze 1998) rather than referring to secondorder (or higher-order) grammatical dependencies as in this work.
