چکیده
This paper presents the development of a methodology the last goal of which would be to help the linguist or lexicographer when defining the subcategorisation pattern of a verb. As a starting point we have applied this methodology over the verb entries examples of an ordinary dictionary in machine readable version. The methodology consists of the following steps: morphological analysis, resolution of morphological ambiguities, syntactic function assignment, detection of verb chains and phrasal units, and the design and implementation of an SGML data structure that represents the verb entries examples, and a query system to exploit the information contained in this data structure. 1 Motivation: Why Analyse Verb
