Enriching Wordnets with New Relations and with Event and Argument Structures

Abstract. This paper argues that wordnets, being concept-based computational lexica, should include information on event and argument structures. This general approach is relevant both for allowing computational grammars to cope with a number of different lexical semantics phenomena, as well as for enabling inference applications to obtain finergrained results. We also propose new relations in order to adequately model non explicit information and cross-part-of-speech relations.
