Frameset - like-v

Predicate: like

like: Frames file for 'like' based on survey of initial sentences of big corpus.

Roleset id: like.01 , affection, vncls: 31.2-1 32.1-1-1, framnet:

like.01: PReditor picks up prepositional usages of "like" (meaning "such as" and tagged as adjective) which should be ignored. Even worse, "unlike" is picked up and included in the .arch files, so you'll see some sentences which at first glance seem to have no "like" predicates at all.

Roles:

Arg0: liker (vnrole: 31.2-1-experiencer, 32.1-1-1-experiencer)
Arg1: object of affection (vnrole: 31.2-1-cause, 32.1-1-1-theme)

Example: semi-modal

        I'd like a flight on American from Newark to Nashville.

        Arg0: I
        Argm-mod: 'd
        Rel: like
        Arg1: a flight on American from Newark to Nashville

Example: prefer

        John likes dill pickles on his grilled cheese sandwiches.

        Arg0: John
        Rel: likes
        Arg1: dill pickles on his grilled cheese sandwiches

Roleset id: like.02 , semi-modal, vncls: , framnet:

like.02: This proves that "like" cannot be treated as a modal, because English doesn't otherwise allow two modal verbs in a single sentences (with the exception of certain dialects, notably Southern, which might could say such things).

Roles:

Arg0: subject
Arg1: phrasal complement

Example: modal

        I would like *trace* to find a flight that goes from Boston to Orlando.

        Arg0: I
        Argm-mod: would
        Rel: like
        Arg1: *trace* to find a flight that goes from Boston to Orlando
