  1. FrameNet ++ The Quest for the Right Description of Semantics and Usage in the Lexicon OR Things Are Always More Complicated than You Think

  2. Project Overview • National Science Foundation funding • Resources: • British National Corpus, some other corpora • Specialized software tools, largely home-grown • Product: • Frame-based descriptions of “words” • Detailed, manually-applied semantic tagging of naturally-occurring sentences

  3. What’s it for? • Natural language processing • Word sense disambiguation • Question answering • Text understanding • 2nd language learners • Dictionary makers

  5. Our Description of Frames • Simple text definition • Frame elements • Lexical units • Frame-to-frame relationships

  6. Example 1: Color • Question: What are the frame elements? • Frame Net is data driven, so we look at the data (i.e. real sentences) to find out…

  7. (From BNC) 1. At once they were all around her , perching up on their hindlegs like scrawny otters in <BLACK> leather and chrome earbands . 2.

  8. Resulting Definition A Color serves as a landmark in color-space, either a point-like landmark (e.g. burnt sienna ) or a broader region (e.g. blue ). Especially when the Color designates a broad region in color-space, it may be defined with a specific Type , further specified by comparison to the color of a Comparand , modified by a Color_qualifier , or evaluated with a Descriptor . All color words are generally used to specify the color of some (physical) Entity .

  9. Example 2: Perception • How many frames do we have? • What are the frame elements?

  10. Breaking Things • How many frames are there? • What are the frame elements?
