Notable examples include (Manning, 1993;Briscoe and Carroll, 1997;Korhonen, 2002) who all used statistical hypothesis testing to filter a parser's output for arguments, with the goal of compiling verb subcategorization lexicons.
these works differ from ours as they attempt to characterize the behavior of a verb type, by collecting statistics from various instances of that verb, and not to determine which are the arguments of specific verb instances.
