Building a Large Lexicon of Complex Valency Frames
Aleš Horák, Karel Pala · 2007
This paper describes the process of building and using a new comprehensive lexicon of Czech verb valency frames based on complex valency frames. The main features of the lexicon entries are designed to bring important semantic information to computer processing of predicate constructions in running texts. The most notable features include two-level semantic labels with linkage to the Princeton and EuroWordNet hierarchy and surface verb frame patterns used for automatic syntactic analysis. Some implications for other languages, particularly English, Bulgarian and Romanian, are reported.
