Towards a Resource for Lexical Semantics: A Large German Corpus with Extensive Semantic Annotation
نویسندگان
چکیده
We describe the ongoing construction of a large, semantically annotated corpus resource as reliable basis for the largescale acquisition of word-semantic information, e.g. the construction of domainindependent lexica. The backbone of the annotation are semantic roles in the frame semantics paradigm. We report experiences and evaluate the annotated data from the first project stage. On this basis, we discuss the problems of vagueness and ambiguity in semantic annotation.

Adding nominal spice to SALSA - frame-semantic annotation of German nouns and verbs
This paper presents Release 2.0 of the SALSA corpus, a German resource for lexical semantics. The new corpus release provides new annotations for German nouns, complementing the existing annotations of German verbs in Release 1.0. The corpus now includes around 24,000 sentences with more than 36,000 annotated instances. It was designed with an eye towards NLP applications such as semantic role ...
متن کاملThe SALSA Corpus: a German Corpus Resource for Lexical Semantics
This paper describes the SALSA corpus, a large German corpus manually annotated with role-semantic information, based on the syntactically annotated TIGER newspaper corpus (Brants et al., 2002). The first release, comprising about 20,000 annotated predicate instances (about half the TIGER corpus), is scheduled for mid-2006. In this paper we discuss the frame-semantic annotation framework and it...
متن کاملTowards a frame semantics lexical resource for Greek
We report on preliminary methodological issues related to the development of a Greek lexical resource based on the theory of frame semantics and supported by corpus evidence. Although our approach is primarily lexicographic, we also address a treebank annotation goal. We are aiming to produce an initial network of Greek words and frame-semantic descriptions that will reliably contribute to the ...
متن کاملLexical Semantics and Selection of TAM in Bantu Languages: A Case of Semantic Classification of Kiswahili Verbs
The existing literature on Bantu verbal semantics demonstrated that inherent semantic content of verbs pairs directly with the selection of tense, aspect and modality formatives in Bantu languages like Chasu, Lucazi, Lusamia, and Shiyeyi. Thus, the gist of this paper is the articulation of semantic classification of verbs in Kiswahili based on the selection of TAM types. This is because the sem...
متن کاملGermaNet - A Lexical-Semantic Net For German
We present the lexical-semantic net for German "GermaNet" which integrates conceptual ontological information with lexical semantics, within and across word classes. It is compatible with the Princeton WordNet but integrates principlebased modifications on the constructional and organizational level as well as on the level of lexical and conceptual relations. GermaNet includes a new treatment o...
