We tested the classification of verbs into semantic types using a verb list of 139 pre-classified items drawn from the lists published in Rosenbaum ( 1967 ) and Stockwell et al. ( 1973 ) . Figure 16 gives the number of verbs classified under each category by these authors and the number successfully classified into the same categories by the system .
