From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
FrameNet is a project housed at the International
Computer Science Institute in Berkeley, California which
produces an electronic resource based on
semantic frames. A semantic frame can be thought of as a
concept with a script. It is used to describe an object, state
or event. The FrameNet lexical database contains around 10000
lexical units (a pairing of a word with a meaning;
polysemous words are represented by several lexical units),
800 semantic frames and over 120,000 example sentences.
Provenance
FrameNet is largely the creation of
Charles J. "Chuck" Fillmore.
