STIMULATE: Tools for Lexicon Building

“构建词典的工具”项目是在丰富的语料库证据基础上，根据框架语义原则构建的英语词汇数据库“框架”。它将以多种格式免费提供给研究人员，其中一种格式可以作为WordNet的附件。主要交付物是一个高度关联的“入门”词典，包含5000个条目，涵盖了主要的语义域。每个数据库条目都与其参与的语义框架相关联，并根据其与该框架的元素在形态语法和语义上的组合方式进行注释。条目还将列出取自语料库的例子，显示单词的使用范围，包括相对频率数据。该项目的另一个重要发展是一套用于语料库研究、注释和分析的高性能计算工具（其中一些正在与欧洲的同事合作开发），这些工具将提供给研究界。由此产生的设备，结合了语言语义和词典编纂技术，对于印刷和在线作品的人类用户以及探索自然语言处理，语音识别和语言理解的复杂问题的研究人员来说都是有价值的。

Tools for Lexicon Building" project is preparing a lexical database for English called "Framenet" built on abundant corpus evidence and formulated on the principles of frame semantics. It will be freely available to researchers in several formats, including one that can serve as an accessory to WordNet. The primary deliverable is a highly relational "starter" lexicon containing 5,000 entries covering major semantic domains. Each database entry is associated with the semantic frame in which it participates, and annotated with respect to how it constellates with the elements of that frame, both morphosyntactically and semantically. Entries will also list examples taken from the corpus showing the range of the word's use, including relative frequency data. Another significant development of the project is a set of high-performance computational tools for corpus research, annotation, and analysis (some of which are being developed in collaboration with colleagues in Europe) which will be made available to the research community. The resulting facility, which incorporates both linguistic-semantic and lexicographic techniques, will be valuable to human users of both printed and online works and also to researchers exploring natural language processing, speech recognition, and the complex problems of language understanding.
