The FrameNet tagset for frame-semantic and syntactic coding of predicate-argument structure

Published:29 April 2000Publication History

ABSTRACT

This paper presents the syntactic and semantic tags used to annotate predicate-argument structure in the Berkeley FrameNet Project. It briefly explains the theory of frame semantics on which semantic annotation is based, discusses possible applications of FrameNet annotation, and compares FrameNet to other prominent lexical resources.
