The Meaning of Actions This experiment has been completed. The experiment originally ran through the spring of 2007. It is being maintained here for the purposes of demonstration. You may still run through it if you wish. View the now-completed experiment The Meaning of Actions. (requires 3-5 minutes) Read an every-day language explanatin of the experiment and its results here. This study is about how people understand the meaning of verbs -- in particular, what aspects of a given verb's meaning are considered to be the most important. This probably varies from person to person, but through a survey we can get a general idea of the intuitions of the "average" English speaker. Click here to view current experiments.
