A Large Subcategorization Lexicon for Natural Language Processing Applications
Anna Korhonen, Yuval Krymolowski, Ted Briscoe · 2006
We introduce a large computational subcategorization lexicon which includes subcategorization frame (SCF) and frequency information for 6,397 English verbs.This extensive lexicon was acquired automatically from five corpora and the Web using the current version of the comprehensive subcategorization acquisition system of Briscoe and Carroll (1997).The lexicon is provided freely for research use, along with a script which can be used to filter and build sub-lexicons suited for different natural language processing (NLP) purposes.Documentation is also provided which explains each sub-lexicon option and evaluates its accuracy.
