FrameNet

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

FrameNet is a project at Berkeley which produces an electronic resource describing 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 9000 lexical units (a pairing of a word with a meaning; polysemous words are represented by several lexical units), 625 semantic frames and over 100,000 example sentences.

[edit] Provenance

FrameNet is largely the product of Charles J. "Chuck" Fillmore.
