9 Tagging Improves COMLEX
</SectionTitle>
    <Paragraph position="0"> Aside fl'om presenting these interesting and llilexpected phenomena, tagging has tightened ut) the classification of some coml)lements, leading in the direction of combining some complements ghat had been separate and re-grouping others. COMLGX had a frame-group which classifie&lt;l together a number of wh-comt)lements. Now there is a different grouping with the original &amp;quot;whether&amp;quot;/&amp;quot;if&amp;quot;/&amp;quot;what&amp;quot; (WIt-S comt)lement) and &amp;quot;how&amp;quot; (HOW-S, PI'-HOW-TO-INF) augmented by &amp;quot;where&amp;quot;/&amp;quot;when&amp;quot; / &amp;quot;how much&amp;quot; / &amp;quot;how Inany&amp;quot; (WHERE-WHEN-S). This last; group was estM&gt; lished for verbs like &amp;quot;define&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;forecast&amp;quot; which do not take members of the original fi'ame groups.</Paragraph>
    <Paragraph position="1"> &amp;quot;Last year, the Supreme Court DEFINED when companies, such as military contractors, may defend themselves.&amp;quot; *The Supreme Court defined if companies may defend themselves.</Paragraph>
    <Paragraph position="2"> &amp;quot;Ptolemy's problem is to FORECAST where, against the inverted bowl of night, some particular light will be found at future times.&amp;quot; *The problem is to forecast how to find the light.</Paragraph>
    <Paragraph position="3"> ?The problem is to forecast how he will react.</Paragraph>
    <Paragraph position="4"> Tags l;hat were not deemed worthy to become COMLEX complements for various reasons (e.g. rarity or sublanguage use) are defined in the COMLEX Syntax Mmmal for ~l%gged Entri(!s (Meyers, 1995). All in all, our tagging has been interesting and informative. We have acquired not only statistical data on the occurrence of colnplements in texts but information on possible gaps in COMLEX's syntactic coverage which we moved to rectify, when it seemed justified, and we have a record in our tagged data of those instances which we. did not add to C()MM';X classes. We have HCompare &amp;quot;The price increased by five percent to a total of 2,000 dollars per share.&amp;quot; &amp;quot;The contents of each barrel increased by 5 pickles to a total of 25 pickles per barrel.&amp;quot;  often been ~sked why we did not m~u:llin(; t~g instead of painstakingly hand tagging.
