Abstract

The paper presents a syntactico-semantic lexicon of over a thousand French verbs. It has been created by manually adding lexical aspect features to verb frames from TreeLex [Kupść and Abeillé, 2008]. We present how the original syntactic resource has been adapted to the current project, our aspect assignment procedure and an overview of the resulting lexical resource.
