Constructicography: Constructicon development across languages
Edited by Benjamin Lyngfelt, Lars Borin, Kyoko Ohara and Tiago Timponi Torrent
In constructionist theory, a constructicon is an inventory of constructions making up the full set of linguistic units in a language. In applied practice, it is a set of construction descriptions – a “dictionary of constructions”. The development of constructicons in the latter sense typically… read more
Frames, constructions, and computation
Edited by Lars Borin, Gerard de Melo, Karin Friberg Heppin and Tiago Timponi Torrent
Special issue of Constructions and Frames 6:1 (2014) v, 135 pp.
2021 Chapter 4. A lexical resource for computational historical linguistics The Swedish FrameNet++: Harmonization, integration, method development and practical language technology applications, Dannélls, Dana, Lars Borin and Karin Friberg Heppin (eds.), pp. 97–122 | Chapter
In this chapter we present the diachronic dimension of Swedish FrameNet++. We describe the historical lexical resources currently available for Swedish, linked to the Contemporary Swedish lexicon Saldo. We present a case study of how interlinking the dictionaries simultaneously allows us to study… read more
2021 Chapter 9. Multiword expressions – a tough typological nut for Swedish FrameNet++ The Swedish FrameNet++: Harmonization, integration, method development and practical language technology applications, Dannélls, Dana, Lars Borin and Karin Friberg Heppin (eds.), pp. 221–260 | Chapter
Multiword expressions have attracted much attention in language technology over the last two decades or so, and in general linguistics, the interest in phraseology – which includes the linguistic study of multiword expressions – goes back much further. In our work on the multilingual components… read more
2021 Chapter 6. Swedish FrameNet++ and comparative linguistics The Swedish FrameNet++: Harmonization, integration, method development and practical language technology applications, Dannélls, Dana, Lars Borin and Karin Friberg Heppin (eds.), pp. 139–166 | Chapter
In this chapter we describe a multilingual extension of Swedish FrameNet++, intended to address research questions of a broad comparative nature, in genealogical, areal and typological linguistics, focusing on the integration into Swedish FrameNet++ of so-called core vocabularies, used in several… read more
2021 Chapter 1. Introduction: Swedish FrameNet++ The Swedish FrameNet++: Harmonization, integration, method development and practical language technology applications, Dannélls, Dana, Lars Borin and Karin Friberg Heppin (eds.), pp. 3–36 | Chapter
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… read more
2021 Chapter 3. Swedish FrameNet++ – lexical samsara The Swedish FrameNet++: Harmonization, integration, method development and practical language technology applications, Dannélls, Dana, Lars Borin and Karin Friberg Heppin (eds.), pp. 69–96 | Chapter
One of the main goals of the Swedish FrameNet++ initiative is to recycle and include as many existing modern Swedish lexical resources as possible into one unified lexical macroresource useful for automatic language processing. In this chapter we describe the structure of Saldo, the central… read more
2021 Chapter 2. Swedish FrameNet The Swedish FrameNet++: Harmonization, integration, method development and practical language technology applications, Dannélls, Dana, Lars Borin and Karin Friberg Heppin (eds.), pp. 37–66 | Chapter
This chapter describes the development of Swedish FrameNet. A new framenet project often follows one of two methodological approaches: (1) extension, through translation of a different-language – often English – framenet into the target language, and (2) merging, where the resource is built from… read more
2021 Chapter 5. A multilingual net of lexical resources The Swedish FrameNet++: Harmonization, integration, method development and practical language technology applications, Dannélls, Dana, Lars Borin and Karin Friberg Heppin (eds.), pp. 123–138 | Chapter
In this chapter, we explore how to develop and encode the relationship between wordnets for different languages using some Nordic and Baltic wordnets to illustrate the variety of approaches. We also briefly touch on how these wordnets have been enhanced or augmented with various types of lexical… read more
2018 Chapter 8. Linguistics vs. language technology in constructicon building and use Constructicography: Constructicon development across languages, Lyngfelt, Benjamin, Lars Borin, Kyoko Ohara and Tiago Timponi Torrent (eds.), pp. 229–253 | Chapter
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… read more
2018 Chapter 3. Constructicography at work: Theory meets practice in the Swedish constructicon Constructicography: Constructicon development across languages, Lyngfelt, Benjamin, Lars Borin, Kyoko Ohara and Tiago Timponi Torrent (eds.), pp. 41–106 | Chapter
This chapter addresses central topics in constructicography from the viewpoint of the Swedish constructicon project (SweCcn), focusing on practical constructicon development. The full process of construction description is described and discussed, from selection via corpus analysis to finished… read more
2014 Constructions and frames meet language technology: From the guest editors of the C&F special issue on frames, constructions, and computation Frames, constructions, and computation, Borin, Lars, Gerard de Melo, Karin Friberg Heppin and Tiago Timponi Torrent (eds.), pp. 1–8 | Article
2014 From construction candidates to constructicon entries: An experiment using semi-automatic methods for identifying constructions in corpora Frames, constructions, and computation, Borin, Lars, Gerard de Melo, Karin Friberg Heppin and Tiago Timponi Torrent (eds.), pp. 114–135 | Article
We present an experiment where natural language processing tools are used to automatically identify potential constructions in a corpus. The experiment was conducted as part of the ongoing efforts to develop a Swedish constructicon. Using an automatic method to suggest constructions has advantages… read more
2004 New wine in old skins? A corpus investigation of L1 syntactic transfer in learner language Corpora and Language Learners, Aston, Guy, Silvia Bernardini and Dominic Stewart (eds.), pp. 67–87 | Article
