This talk gives an overview of the FrameNet project which is housed at the
International Computer Science Institute at UC Berkeley. FrameNet is in the
process of developing a corpus-based lexicon of several thousand English
lexical units described in terms of Frame Semantics (Fillmore, 1982).More
specifically, FrameNet creates, based on word uses in large corpora, a
database of lexical entries for English verbs, nouns, and adjectives taken
from a variety of semantic domains. Each lexical entry in the FrameNet
database provides an exhaustive acount of the syntactic and semantic
combinatorial properties of each lexical unit (i.e., one word in one of its
uses).
The talk is structured as follows. Part one outlines the goals of the FrameNet
project. Part two summarizes the main principles of Frame Semantics, which
underlies the analysis of words in FrameNet. Part three of the talk discusses
the work flow of the FrameNet project (Frame composition, corpus extraction,
manual semantic annotation, creation of lexical entries). Part four discusses
how words from the commercial transaction and crime domain are analyed by
FrameNet. Part five shows how information provided by FrameNet is useful for
applications such as information retrieval, question answering systems, and
machine translation.
