In this paper we explore the role of verb frequencies and the number of clusters in soft-clustering approaches as a tool for automatic semantic classification. Relying on a large-scale setup including 4,871 base verb types and 3,173 complex verb types, and focusing on synonymy as a taskindependent goal in semantic classification, we demonstrate that low-frequency German verbs are clustered sign...

The paper describes the implementation of the Levin’s syntactic-semantic classification of English verbs onto verbs in Croatian language.

One such tool, called FM, has recently been developed as an extension of the INPUT-PROCESS-OUTPUT (IPO) model. IPO has been used extensively in many interdisciplina...
