A Dictionary of Nonsubsective Adjectives

Computational approaches to inference and information extraction often assume that adjective-noun compounds maintain all the relevant properties of the unmodified noun. A significant portion of nonsubsective adjectives violate this assumption. We present preliminary work towards a classifier for these adjectives. We also compile a comprehensive list of 60 nonsubsective adjectives including those used for training and those found by the classifiers.
