“…The SweFN++ macroresource now contains, wholly or in part, the following component resources: 9 -SALDO (Borin, Forsberg & Lönngren, 2013) -Swedish FrameNet (Borin, Dannélls et al, 2010; see also above) -Swesaurus (Borin & Forsberg, 2014) -Core WordNet (Pedersen et al, 2013) -IDS/LWT lists (Borin, 2012;Borin, Comrie, & Saxena, 2013) -PAROLE -SIMPLE -Dalin's dictionary (19th c.) (Borin & Forsberg, 2011) 6. Word senses are chosen as the basic content unit in SALDO, rather than, e.g., concepts as in WordNet synsets , the latter being quite difficult to delimit in a satisfactory way (Margolis & Laurence, 1999;Murphy, 2002).…”

“…Utilizing the aforementioned infrastructure of Språkbanken, primarily the Korp and Karp tools, an experiment was set up to discover relevant construction candidates through the use of hybrid n-grams (cf. Bäckström et al, 2013;Forsberg et al, 2014). A hybrid n-gram is a linear pattern of units, comprised of specific word forms, lexical units, and grammatical categories, according to relative frequency.…”

“…The method has the advantage of discovering patterns that are highly conventional and regular, which otherwise might be overlooked. In the first round of the experiment we focused on partially schematic patterns (Bäckström et al, 2013); in the second round we also included fully schematic ones (Forsberg et al, 2014).…”

“…While linguists have devoted much energy to classifying and characterizing MWEs in general (but as a rule not cross-linguistically informed) terms, much of the language technology research has focused on developing data-driven methods for finding certain subtypes of MWEs in text (see Pecina, 2010, for a good overview). Since some MWE types recognized in the literature are structurally similar to the schematic constructions making up the Swedish constructicon, the Swedish constructicon team has experimented with methods inspired and informed by MWE research in language technology in order to generate construction candidates from linguistically annotated corpora (Bäckström et al, 2013;Forsberg et al, 2014), mentioned by Lyngfelt, Bäckström, et al (this volume) and explained and motivated in more detail in what follows.…”

This book has been long in the making, but now having the result under our eyes, we believe that it was worth the wait. The idea of compiling a volume collecting the experiences of the various constructicon initiatives going on around the world was born in the context of an international collaboration between the universities at Gothenburg in Sweden and Juiz de Fora in Brazil, and the excellent opportunities to interact and learn from each other's experiences afforded by both research visits and the international FrameNet workshops organized jointly by the Swedish and Brazilian teams, together with the FrameNet group in Berkeley, California: IFNW 2013 in Berkeley, IFNW 2016, collocated with ICCG9 in Juiz de Fora, and the upcoming IFNW 2018 with the special theme Multilingual FrameNets and Constructicons, collocated with LREC in Miyazaki, Japan. Moreover, profitable discussions relevant to the works presented in this book took place in the special sessions Cognitively grounded lexica, constructicons, and metaphor repositories, at ICLC12 in Edmonton, Canada, in 2013, and Constructionist resources -a workshop in honor of Charles J. Fillmore, at ICCG8 in Osnabrück, Germany, in 2014.During these events, most -if not all -authors of the chapters in this volume had the chance to share their points of view, positions and questions on the development of constructionist resources. Beyond the group of authors whose contributions make this book, we'd like to thank our -and their -interlocutors.The work on preparing the volume has been funded in part by the Swedish Foundation for International Cooperation in Research and Higher Education (STINT), by the Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior (CAPES, Brazil), and by the Swedish Foundation for Humanities and Social Sciences (Riksbankens Jubileumsfond, RJ), but it could not have happened without the long-term support given to both Språkbanken (the Swedish Language Bank) -now well into its fifth decade -by the University of Gothenburg, its Faculty of Arts and its Department of Swedish, and to FrameNet Brasil by the Federal University of Juiz de Fora.The volume editors would like to express their gratitude to the anonymous reviewers for their thorough and insightful comments and suggestions, to the series editor Jan-Ola Östman for his final vetting of the volume, and to Esther Roth and Susan Hendriks at John Benjamins, always helpful and unerringly professional, under whose watchful eyes the volume went from idea to finished product. Last but viii Constructicography not least, we are grateful to the person without whom none of all this would have happened: the late Charles J. Fillmore. For inspiring us all, for being a core element in our research frame(works), for having guided our ways into the development of constructicons, and for being such a great guy, we dedicate this volume to Chuck.

In this chapter, we describe the close interaction of linguists and language technologists in the Swedish constructicon project. This kind of collaboration is not so common today, because of the way that language technology has developed in recent decades, but in our case the collaboration has been very successful, and constituted a genuine instance of cross-fertilization, where an evolving language technology infrastructure and a computational lexical macroresource described in the chapter has formed an integral part of the Swedish constructicon development environment, while at the same time the structured linguistic knowledge described in the constructicon has informed the language technology making up the infrastructure.

The Swedish FrameNet++ was designed to be several things. As a digital artifact, it is an integrated panchronic lexical macroresource, primarily for Swedish, but including several other languages, intended as a basic infrastructural component in Swedish language technology research and for developing natural language processing applications. As an activity, it is a long-term R&D initiative, initially aimed at bringing about this macroresource, and now at maintaining and extending it, at promoting its use in language technology research and application development, as well as ensuring that the results of this research and development in their turn are incorporated in the macroresource. As a product of research, it reflects both computational and linguistic approaches to lexicology, lexical semantics, and lexical typology.
