This paper presents a method for large corpus analysis to semantically
classify an entire clause. In particular, we use cooccurrence statistics among
similar clauses to determine the aspectual class of an input clause. The
process examines linguistic features of clauses that are relevant to aspectual
classification. A genetic algorithm determines what combinations of linguistic
features to use for this task.Comment: postscript, 9 pages, Proceedings of the Second International
