Title A Large Subcategorization Lexicon for Natural Language Processing Applications
Authors A. Korhonen, Y. Krymolowski, T. Briscoe
Abstract We introduce a large computational subcategorizationlexicon which includes subcategorization frame (SCF) and frequencyinformation for 6,397 English verbs. This extensive lexicon was acquiredautomatically from five corpora and the Web using the current version of the comprehensive subcategorization acquisition system of Briscoe and Carroll (1997). The lexicon is provided freely for research use, along with a script which can be used to filter and build sub-lexicons suited for different natural languageprocessing (NLP) purposes. Documentation is also provided whichexplains each sub-lexicon option and evaluates its accuracy.
Keywords subcategorization, computational lexicons, automatic lexical acquisition
