Taxonomy Change Operations

I have been involved in the development of a frame element hierarchy or taxonomy, based on FrameNet’s frame-to-frame relations and frame element definitions. Since I know that this taxonomy is not perfect and can be improved, I need to consider the types of operations that might be involved in making changes. Although this may seem […]

Preposition Classes: General

In The Preposition Project (TPP), each sense was assigned a semantic relation type by the lexicographer. These types were grouped together into 20 larger classes. The assignment of these two labels was a local decision, that is, without any a priori theoretical perspective. Once completed, the overall collection of these classifications are amenable to more […]

Analyzing frame element definitions

As described in a previous post, a major step in laying out the frame element (FE) hierarchy involves an examination of the frame element definitions included in the characterizations of each frame in FrameNet. This step has now been completed, at least in a preliminary manner, with the result that the frame element hierarchy has […]

Refining the frame element hierarchy: Application of initial steps

Several proposed steps for refining the frame element hierarchy have now been performed. At present, there are 1011 frame elements in the frame element digraph with 261 primitives (compared with an original 476 primitives), consisting of 202 primitives not used as hypernyms and 59 used as hypernyms in deriving 750 frame elements. The current hierarchy […]
