Abstract

This study is an attempt to add new facts and conclusions to draw from them to an old topic --- semantics of evaluative adjectives (Bierwisch 1989). The evidence we will be using is based on a corpus study. The more general goal of this paper is to develop and describe a pipeline that would help solve quantitative semantic tasks in an easier and more systematic way, this particular study being an example.
