SRL systems (Täckström et al., 2015;Roth and Woodsend, 2014) have benefited NLP applications, and many approaches have been proposed to transfer semantic roles from English to other languages without further reliance on manual annotation (Kozhevnikov and Titov, 2013;Padó and Lapata, 2009).
event structures -both predicates and their arguments -are known to shift in the translation process, and this poor correspondence presents a bottleneck for the transference of semantic roles across languages.
