PrepNet: a Multilingual Lexical Description of Prepositions
Proceedings of the Fifth International Conference on Language Resources and Evaluation (LREC 2006)
Abstract
In this paper, we present the results of a preliminary investigation that aims at constructing a repository of preposition syntactic and semantic behaviors. A preliminary frame-based format for representing their prototypical behavior is then proposed together with related inferential patterns that describe functional or paradigmatic relations between preposition senses.
