Overview
-
Spanish FrameNet (SFN) is a research project which is developed at the Autonomous University of Barcelona (Spain) and the International Computer Science Institute (Berkeley, CA) in cooperation with the FrameNet Project.
- SFN is sponsored by the Department of Science and Innovation of Spain (FFI2008-0875) and the Fundación Comillas. Previous funding was provided by the Department of Science and Technology (Grant Nr. TIC2002-01338). Additional funding has also been provided by the Autonomous University of Barcelona (PNL2004-49 and PRP2006-04) and the Department
of Education (TSI2005-01200).
-
The Spanish FrameNet Project is creating an online lexical resource for Spanish, based on frame semantics and supported by corpus evidence.
-
The "starter lexicon" is available to the public, and contains more than 1,000 lexical items (verbs, predicative nouns, and adjectives, adverbs, prepositions and entities) representative of a wide range of semantic domains.
-
The aim is to document the range of semantic and syntactic combinatory possibilities (valences) of each word in each of its senses, through:
- human approved and automatic annotated example sentences and
- automatic capture and organization of the annotation results.
-
The Spanish FrameNet database will be in a platform-independent format, and it is able to be displayed and queried via the web and other interfaces.
