in this article, the causative alternation in persian is discussed. first, it is shown that persian anticausative verbs involve a cause component and an implicit external argument. second, we claim that causative alternation arises when a single change-of-state verb invokes more than one semantic frame (fillmore, 1985): causative frame and anticausative frame. these semantic frames are the resu...

This paper examines the collocational patterns of Mandarin verbs of conversation and proposes that a finer classification scheme than the flat structure of ‘frames’ [cf. Fillmore and Atkins 1992; Baker et al. 2003] is needed to capture the semantic granularity of verb types. The notion of a ‘subframe’ is introduced and utilized to explain the syntactic-semantic interdependencies among different...

This paper describes FrameNet (Lowe et al., 1997; Baker et al., 1998; Fillmore et al., 2002), an online lexical resource for English based on the principles of frame semantics (Fillmore, 1977a; Fillmore, 1982; Fillmore and Atkins, 1992), and considers the FrameNet database in reference to the proposed ISO model for linguistic annotation of language resources (ISO TC37 SC4 )(ISO, 2002; Ide and R...

We present a brief history and overview of statistical methods in frame-semantic parsing – the automatic analysis of text using the theory of frame semantics. We discuss how the FrameNet lexicon and frameannotated datasets have been used by statistical NLP researchers to build usable, state-of-the-art systems. We also focus on future directions in frame-semantic parsing research, and discuss NL...

background alzheimer's disease (ad) is the most common type of dementia. patients with ad have impaired semantic knowledge of nouns and verbs as well as the ability to verb retrieval. objectives the aim of this study was to compare verbal fluency and verb fluency and to investigate the association between severity and types of fluency (verbal-verb) in patients with ad. patients and methods this...

the case of Mandarin verb ZOU (走) Yaling Hsu Meichun Liu National Chiao Tung University [email protected] [email protected] Abstract In this paper, we propose a procedural schema as a model of cognitive processing of word senses, which can be viewed as a derivational resolution of polysemy. Previous researches, such as Frame -Based Lexicon by Fillmore [4] and Lexical Semantics by Crus...

This paper presents work on a comprehensive FrameNet for Danish (cf. www.framenet.dk), with over 12.000 frames, and an almost complete coverage of Danish verb lemmas. We discuss design principles and frame roles as well as the distinctional use of valency, syntactic function and semantic noun classes. By converting frame distinctors into Constraint Grammar rules, we were able to build a robust ...
