Abstract This chapter describes the development of Swedish FrameNet. A new framenet project often follows one of two methodological approaches: (1) extension , through translation of a different-language – often English – framenet into the target language, and (2) merging , where the resource is built from scratch in the target language. Both approaches have their pros and cons, which have been extensively discussed in the literature. Swedish FrameNet is mainly developed through the extension approach, although balanced with the merging approach. Drawing on the two approaches simultaneously, we describe how integrated language resources and tools have been exploited to create and develop Swedish FrameNet: how it was constructed, what it contains, and the basic assumptions underlying the annotation of its contents.
