Abstract
This paper (poster) presents a tool used for building a new cross-lingual verbal synonym lexical resource called CzEngClass, as well as the structure of the lexicon. This lexicon captures interlingual synonyms, using valency behavior of synonymous verbs in relation to semantic roles as one of the criteria for defining such interlingual synonymy.
The tool, called Synonym Class Editor - SynEd, is a user-friendly tool specifically customized to build and edit individual entries in the lexicon. It helps to keep the cross-lingual synonym classes consistent and linked to internal as well as well-known external lexical resources.
The structure of SynEd also allows to keep and edit the appropriate syntactic and semantic information for each Synonym Class member. The editor makes it also possible to display examples of class members usage in translational (parallel corpus) context.
SynEd runs platform independently and may be used for multiple languages. SynEd, CzEngClass and services based on them will be ope
