It is generally believed that incorporation of common sense knowledge about the world would benefit natural language understanding systems. This dissertation considers modeling common sense knowledge associated with everyday activities. The common sense knowledge about everyday activities can be understood and modeled using the concept of scripts. Scripts are sequences of events describing stereotypical human activities (i.e.~scenarios), for example, cooking pasta, baking a cake, etc. Scripts have been shown to be useful for drawing inferences from text. Consequently, scripts find applications in the area of natural language processing (NLP) and artificial intelligence (A.I.), for example, temporal reasoning, coreference resolution, story ...
