A unified representation of attributes and their semantic composition

Attributes are the way we describe the world. A simple classification on attributes' object host or event host is not enough for explaining appearance of both object attributes and event attributes. Thus we propose a presentation and explanation for attributes which introduce single and group host criterion for object attributes and linguistic valence for event attributes. Especially, we argue that all event attributes can be presented in a unified representation where an event attribute takes a certain latent event as its single host and this event's arguments may as well appear as the host arguments. In addition, we try to recover the omitted events in event attributes and express the semantic composition of the phrases in E-HowNet's framework.
