public static enum IEvent.EventClass
extends java.lang.Enum<IEvent.EventClass>

    Enum Constants 
    Enum Constant Description
    ASPECTUAL
    Grammatical device of aspectual predication
    I_ACTION
    An I_ACTION is an Intensional Action.
    I_STATE
    This class includes states that refer to alternative or possible worlds, (delimited by square brackets in the examples below), which can be introduced by subordinated clauses, nominalizations, or untensed VPs.
    OCCURRENCE
    This class includes all the many other kinds of events describing something that happens or occurs in the world.
    PERCEPTION
    Events involving the physical perception of another event.
    REPORTING
    Describes the action of a person or an organization declaring something, narrating an event, informing about an event, etc.
    STATE
    States describe circumstances in which something obtains or holds true.

  • Enum Constant Details

    • REPORTING

      public static final IEvent.EventClass REPORTING
      Describes the action of a person or an organization declaring something, narrating an event, informing about an event, etc.

    • PERCEPTION

      public static final IEvent.EventClass PERCEPTION
      Events involving the physical perception of another event. Such events are typically expressed by verbs like: see, watch, glimpse, behold, view, hear, listen, overhear.

    • ASPECTUAL

      public static final IEvent.EventClass ASPECTUAL
      Grammatical device of aspectual predication

    • I_ACTION

      public static final IEvent.EventClass I_ACTION
      An I_ACTION is an Intensional Action.

      An I ACTION introduces an event argument (which must be in the text explicitly) describing an action or situation from which we can infer something given its relation with the I_ACTION.

      Explicit performative predicates are also included here. Note that the I_ACTION class does not cover states.

    • I_STATE

      public static final IEvent.EventClass I_STATE
      This class includes states that refer to alternative or possible worlds, (delimited by square brackets in the examples below), which can be introduced by subordinated clauses, nominalizations, or untensed VPs.

    • STATE

      public static final IEvent.EventClass STATE
      States describe circumstances in which something obtains or holds true.

    • OCCURRENCE

      public static final IEvent.EventClass OCCURRENCE
      This class includes all the many other kinds of events describing something that happens or occurs in the world.

  • Method Details

    • values

      public static IEvent.EventClass[] values()
      Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared.
      Returns:
      an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared

    • valueOf

      public static IEvent.EventClass valueOf​(java.lang.String name)
      Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)
      Parameters:
      name - the name of the enum constant to be returned.
      Returns:
      the enum constant with the specified name
      Throws:
      java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if this enum type has no constant with the specified name
      java.lang.NullPointerException - if the argument is null
