Abstract

Nouns are usually divided syntactically or semantically. These classifications, however, ignore the fact that some nouns can represent events. This behavior is similar to verbs. This study examines three types of nouns (nominals, pure event nouns and entity nouns) based on eventive parameters (classifiers, argument structure and event structure). It establishes an event-based noun classification system for non-natural kind nouns, which not only enriches the research on noun classifications, but also facilitates event detection in natural texts.
