Multilinguality and FrameNet
نویسندگان
چکیده
The report introduces some notions relevant to multilingual resources for Natural Language Processing and summarizes the model of FrameNet, a lexical resource for English. As the development of FrameNet resources for languages other than English advances, theoretical and practical issues related to multilingual representation and the processing of such resources become apparent. The aim of this report is to characterize current practices in creating multilingual FrameNets as well as to point out issues related to the status of the frame part of FrameNet as “interlingua”. The details discussed and the conclusions drawn are intended to be helpful to both designers and users of multilingual FrameNets. ∗Thanks to all FrameNet staff and visitors for discussion and insights into their work, especially to Collin F. Baker, Michael Ellsworth, Charles J. Fillmore, Kyoko H. Ohara, Miriam R. L. Petruck, and Carlos Subirats. – The author is supported by a fellowship within the Postdoc-Programme of the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD).

LMM: an OWL-DL MetaModel to Represent Heterogeneous Lexical Knowledge
In this paper we present a Linguistic Meta-Model (LMM) allowing a semiotic-cognitive representation of knowledge. LMM is freely available and integrates the schemata of linguistic knowledge resources, such as WordNet and FrameNet, as well as foundational ontologies, such as DOLCE and its extensions. In addition, LMM is able to deal with multilinguality and to represent individuals and facts in ...

This paper discusses findings of a frame-based contrastive text analysis, using the large-scale and precise descriptions of semantic frames provided by the FrameNet project (Baker, 2006; Fillmore, 2006). It points out that even though the existing FrameNet methodology allows us to compare languages at a more detailed level than previous studies (e.g. Talmy, 2003; Slobin, 2004), in order to inve...

متن کاملUsing Ontologies for Semi-automatic Linking VerbaLex with FrameNet
This work presents a method of linking verbs and their valency frames in VerbaLex database developed at the Centre for NLP at the Faculty of Informatics Masaryk University to the frames in Berkeley FrameNet. While completely manual work may take a long time, the proposed semi-automatic approach requires a smaller amount of human effort to reach sufficient results. The method of linking VerbaLex...
متن کاملIntegrating Data from The Preposition Project into FrameNet
In the course of The Preposition Project, FrameNet sentences are used as instances to characteize preposition behavior. FrameNet sentences containing prepositional phrases beginning with a given preposition are presented to a lexicographer, whereupon the given preposition is tagged with a sense from a sense inventory derived from the Oxford Dictionary of English. For the 34 prepositions used in...
