The Berkeley FrameNet Project

FrameNet is a three-year NSF-supported project in corpus-based computational lexicography, now in its second year NSF IRI-9618838, Tools for Lexicon Building". The project's key features are a a commitment to corpus evidence for semantic and syntactic generalizations, and b the representation of the valences of its target words mostly nouns, adjectives, and verbs in which the semantic portion makes use of frame semantics. The resulting database will contain a descriptions of the semantic frames underlyingthe meanings of the words described, and b the valence representation semantic and syntactic of several thousand words and phrases, each accompanied by c a representative collection of annotated corpus attestations, which jointly exemplify the observed linkings between frame elements" and their syntactic realizations e.g. grammatical function, phrase type, and other syntactic traits. This report will present the project's goals and work ow, and information about th...
