CzEngVallex: a Bilingual Czech-English Valency Lexicon

Abstract

This paper introduces a new bilingual Czech-English verbal valency lexicon (called CzEngVallex) representing a relatively large empirical database. It includes 20,835 aligned valency frame pairs (i.e., verb senses which are translations of each other) and their aligned arguments. This new lexicon uses data from the Prague Czech-English Dependency Treebank and also takes advantage of the existing valency lexicons for both languages: the PDT-Vallex for Czech and the EngVallex for English. The CzEngVallex is available for browsing as well as for download in the LINDAT/CLARIN repository.The CzEngVallex is meant to be used not only by traditional linguists, lexicographers, translators but also by computational linguists both for the purposes of enriching theoretical linguistic accounts of verbal valency from a cross-linguistic perspective and for an innovative use in various NLP tasks.

MRP 2019: Cross-Framework Meaning Representation Parsing

“…In FGD, role labels (called functors) ACT(or), PAT(ient), ADDR(essee), ORIG(in), and EFF(ect) indicate 'participant' positions in an underlying valency frame and, thus, correspond more closely to the numbered argument positions in other frameworks than their names might suggest. 2 The PSD annotations are grounded in a machine-readable valency lexicon (Urešová et al, 2016), and the frame values on verbal nodes in Figure 1 indicate specific verbal senses in the lexicon. Oepen and Lønning, 2006) encode English Resource Semantics in a variable-free semantic dependency graphnot limited to bi-lexical dependencies-where graph nodes correspond to logical predications and edges to labeled argument positions.…”

Meaning and Semantic Roles in CzEngClass Lexicon

“…No special attention was paid to the issues related to lexical semantics within the FGD until the development of FGD-related valency lexicons started (PDT-VALLEx [17],VALLEx [2], EngVallex [27] and CzEngVallex [26]. The approach to valency in all these lexicons is based on the valency theory developed within the FGD ( [19], [20]).…”

“…The SRs are simultaneously linked to the existing verbal pairings (translational equivalents) found in the CzEngVallex lexicon (Urešová et al, 2016). CzEngVallex (the large box in the middle of Fig.…”
