Enhancing Czech Valency Lexicon with Semantic Information from FrameNet: The Case of Communication Verbs
2008
Abstract
In this paper, we report on our attempt at assigning semantic information from FrameNet to lexical units in VALLEX, a valency lexicon of Czech verbs. We focus on the class of communication verbs.
We experiment with assigning FrameNet semantic frames to lexical units for communication verbs. The second task consists in linking their valency complementations with FrameNet frame elements.
The exact pairwise inter-annotator agreement reaches almost 69% on the semantic frames and 84.6% on the frame elements. We propose enhancing VALLEX with missing semantic information from FrameNet based on exploitation of the semantic relation 'Inheritance'.
