Constructing parallel lexicon fragments based on English FrameNet entries: Semantic and syntactic issues Hans C. Boas The University of Texas at Austin Department of Germanic Studies and Department of Linguistics 1 University Station, C3300, Austin, TX 78712-0304, U.S.A. E-mail: hcb@ Abstract This paper investigates how semantic frames from FrameNet can be re-used for constructing FrameNets for other languages. Section one provides a brief overview of Frame Semantics (Fillmore 1982). Section 2 introduces the main structuring principles of the Berkeley FrameNet project. Section three presents a typology of FrameNets for different languages, highlighting a number of important issues surrounding the universal applicability of semantic frames. Section four shows that while it is often possible to re- use semantic frames across languages in a principled way it is not always straightforward because of systematic syntactic differences in how lexical units express the semantics of frames. Section five summarizes the issues discussed in this paper. Keywords: Computational Lexicography, FrameNet, Frame Semantics, Syntax structure (Petruck Boas 2003).1 The following section 1. Frame Semantics shows how the concept of semantic frame has been used Research in Frame Semantics (Fillmore 1982, 1985) is to structure the lexicon of English for the purpos
