Assigning FrameNet Frames to a Croatian Verb Lexicon

Ivana Brač, Ana Ostroški Anić


Abstract
This paper presents the Croatian verb lexicon Verbion that describes verbs on multiple levels. The semantic level includes verb senses, corresponding semantic classes according to VerbNet and WordNet, as well as semantic frames based on FrameNet. Each verb sense is linked to one or more valency frames, which include corpus-based examples accompanied by syntactic, morphological, and semantic analyses of each argument. This study focuses on assigning FrameNet frames to the verb misliti ‘think’ and its prefixed forms. Based on 170 manually annotated sentences, the paper discusses the advantages and challenges of assigning semantic frames to Croatian verbs.
