Class: NonAffectingAction
Annotations (1)
- rdfs:comment "NonAffectingActions have no `actee', or the `actee' is not created or affected by the action. They are often (though not necessarily) intransitive. In the case they are transitive, the object is not affected or created by the action. Instead it specifies a range of the action. For example, ``I play the piano/ tennis.'' This specifies that I am capable of a typical kind of playing. All verbs of movement are examples of NonAffectingActions, e.g. `climb', `walk', `fly', `fall', `run'. Skills, such as `read (book)', `listen (music)', `speak (French), etc. are included in this category. In addition, the verbs `have' as in `have lunch', `take' as in `take a shower', `do' as in `do a dance', and `make' are in this category."(xsd:string)
