| Description | We describe here a very first attempt to connect two valency lexicons: Pattern Dictionary of English Verbs (PDEV) and VerbaLex. Both lexicons contain verbs together with their syntactic structure (arguments of the verbal predicate) and semantic restrictions (semantic types typical for a given verb argument). The lexicons are similar in overall but differ in details since their formalisms are tailored for the respective languages. They also differ in a way they have been built: whilst the former resource has been built using Corpus Pattern Analysis methodology the latter has been built upon previous datasets Brief, Vallex and Czech WordNet. We present a preliminary work on linking English patterns in PDEV with their Czech equivalents: frames in VerbaLex. |
