Abstract :
We devised a dynamic model in which the agent of an action is described as a volume changing its shape, i.e. the placepoint set it occupies at every moment, and proposed an algorithm for judging the action being performed. This was a mechanism for checking sequentially whether the moving area of an agent contains the parts corresponding to the sets of features specified for the relevant action verb. Utilizing this idea, the present paper proposes a new semantic representation for transitive action verb, which is a bundle of “forces” specified as to the features involved in the relevant action. This representation behaves as a functor to cause its input value, that is, its target to make motion, determining the location and orientation of the input in space resulting from the action denoted by the functor
