SEAFACT (Semantic Analysis For the Animation of Cooking Tasks) is a
natural language interface to a computer-generated animation system
operating in the domain of cooking tasks.  SEAFACT allows the user to
specify cooking tasks using a small subset of English.  The system
analyzes English input and produces a representation of the task which
can drive motion synthesis procedures.  This talk describes the
semantic analysis of verbal modifiers on which the SEAFACT
implementation is based.
