Odia is a free-word order but an agglutinative language. In this language, the meaning of a sentence does not depend upon the position of the words contented, but depends upon the morphemic behavior of words. Verbs are the important morpheme category as they form the pivot of a sentence which is needed for language understanding. This paper describes the semantic nature of Odia verbs with respect to their syntactic behavior, the basis of which is Paninian Grammar Framework. The syntactico-semantic model proposed here shows the inter- relationship mapping between the syntax and semantics of Odia verbs which helps us to infer the meaning/semantics with verb-specific idiosyncratic properties. The idiosyncratic properties are the tense, aspect, modality (TAM) and role of the verb etc. Tense, aspect and modality could be used to label the verbs with a TAM label. Here the tense refers to the occurrence of an event in present, past or future. The aspect is the time of occurrence of an event in present, past or future time. Modality speaks whether the sentence containing the verb is a general statement or a command. Initially, the verb is classified as transitive or intransitive. Additionally, the role defines whether the verb form is finite, non-finite or used as a noun. Finite verb means it can stand alone as a complete sentence and is the syntactic locus for tense, aspect and modality. Non-finite verbs are the dependent verbs. Lastly, verbs are sometimes used in noun form in sentences. The present work thus focuses on the sense disambiguation of Odia verbs, annotating them with morphologically rich features, helping other Indian Language researchers in word sense disambiguation, machine translation, information extraction and cognitive linguistics, working in any other natural language.
