In this paper, we outline the methodology we adopted to develop a FrameNet for Italian. The main element of novelty with respect to the original FrameNet is represented by the fact that the creation and annotation of Lexical Units is strictly grounded in distributional information (statistical distribution of verbal subcategorization frames, lexical and semantic preferences of each frame) autom...

Charles J. Fillmore died at his home in San Francisco on February 13, 2014, of brain cancer. He was 84 years old. Fillmore was one of the world’s pre-eminent scholars of lexical meaning and its relationship with context, grammar, corpora, and computation, and his work had an enormous impact on computational linguistics. His early theoretical work in the 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s on case grammar a...

Since 2008, the Japanese FrameNet (JFN, http://jfn.st.hc.keio.ac.jp/) project has been annotating the Balanced Corpus of Contemporary Written Japanese (BCCWJ), the first such corpus, officially released in October 2011. This paper reports annotation results of the book genre of BCCWJ (Ohara 2011, Ohara, Saito, Fujii & Sato 2011). Comparing the semantic frames needed to annotate BCCWJ with those...

Over the last decade or so, distributional methods have become the mainstay of semantic modelling in Computational Linguistics. As such, they have also been applied the automatic modelling of verb meaning. However, more than with other lexical categories, the research into verb semantics has taken its inspiration from the idea that a verb's meaning is strongly linked to its syntactic behaviour ...

Résumé. D’après la sémantique des cadres de Fillmore, les mots prennent leur sens par rapport au contexte événementiel ou situationnel dans lequel ils s’inscrivent. FrameNet, une ressource lexicale pour l’anglais, définit environ 1000 cadres conceptuels couvrant l’essentiel des contextes possibles. Dans un cadre conceptuel, un prédicat appelle des arguments pour remplir les différents rôles sém...

The present paper draws on cognitive lexicography, a relatively new amalgamation of lexicography and linguistics, to approach the curation manner motion verb entries in online bilingual Turkish-English dictionaries. Following Dalpanagioti’s methodology analysis (651), study adopts following steps creating an dictionary entry, as used by Dalpanagioti (651): (a) compile pre-lexicographic database...

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...
