Someone from Milan asked this same question here just a few months ago.  I
remember suggestions of Levinson's chapter on deictic expressions in
_Pragmatics_ and the story-grammar/schema body of work of Prince, Schank,
and others.

BTW, your choice of 'slots' seems pretty arbitrary to me -- maintaining
a distinction between WHO's and WHAT's at this level seems unimportant
compared to the loss of information due to collapsing all actors, recipients,
patients, etc. to WHO's and all causes, intentions, etc. to WHY's.
