Problem sentences

  I gave the dog food. I gave the dog much food.
    The second sentence is not analyzed at all. If the two sentences
      are given to the SRL independently, the arguments are correctly
      identified.
  
  I gave the dog food. I gave the dog a lot of food.
    The second gave is identified as an AM-MOD. When the second
      sentence is given alone, this doesn’t happen.
  
  “I gave the dog food. ” vs. “I gave the dog a lot of food.”
    The first sentence is analyzed incorrectly. Can this be fixed
      using proper subcategorization or maybe with the correct sense of
      the predicate?
  

Nom SRL predicates
We need a better way to pick NOM SRL predicates. Try the following
  sentences:

  His thought was that the building is falling.
    thought is missed because the POS tagger does not identify it
      as a noun.
