Frame Semantics across Languages: Towards a Multilingual FrameNet

摘要

FrameNet is a lexical resource that provides rich semantic representations of the core English vocabulary based on Fillmore's Frame Semantics, with more than 200k manually annotated examples. Resources based on FrameNet have now been created for roughly a dozen languages. This workshop will present current research on aligning Frame Semantic resources across languages and automatic frame semantic parsing in English and other languages. We will explore the extent to which semantic frames are similar across languages and the implications for theories of semantic universals, the practice of translation (whether human or machine), and multilingual knowledge representation. Does not require prior familiarity with Frame Semantics.
