Constraining constructions with WordNet: pros and cons for the semantic annotation of fillers in the Italian Constructicon
This work addresses the problem of semantic annotation in construction grammar for linguists, but it appears incremental as it applies existing WordNet methods to a specific language resource.
The paper examines the use of WordNet-based semantic classification for formalizing constructions and annotating schematic fillers in the Italian Constructicon, outlining how the project applies Open Multilingual WordNet topics to represent semantic features and constraints.
The paper discusses the role of WordNet-based semantic classification in the formalization of constructions, and more specifically in the semantic annotation of schematic fillers, in the Italian Constructicon. We outline how the Italian Constructicon project uses Open Multilingual WordNet topics to represent semantic features and constraints of constructions.
