....problems. One such problem is verbal aspect which describes the temporal character of events (like past tense or progressive form) Narayanan has developed and implemented a computational model of verbal aspect and he argues that the semantics of aspect is grounded in sensory motor primitives [41]. This model was developed around processing mechanisms like schemas and petri networks which could also be transferred into structured connectionist networks. In related work Bailey developed a computational motor control model of children s acquisition of verb semantics for words like push, pull ....

....ones and have studied these mappings for manyyears. Part of our current e#ort is to apply the computational techniques described aboveto model how such mappings mightoccur. The key computational mechanisms, x schemas and binding f structs, also are at the core of our abstract concept story. Narayanan #1997# describes an implemented program that demonstrates through simulation how an x schema structure whichisacontroller abstraction over multiple motor actions is able to o#er some answers to well known problems in modeling the semantics of verbal aspect. Another project involves a model ....

....bias for verb learning. The grounding of lexical semantics in action controllers enables the representation to flexible and adaptive in the way context affects interpretation. Two recent projects resulted in systems that exploit this context sensitivity for language understanding. One project [Nar97b] used recurring monitoring and control schemas abstracted from the basic representation to provide a fine grained simulation based framework of processes and their interactions. The resulting model seems to offer a natural solution to the vexing linguistic problem of aspectual composition . ....
