In this chapter we present the diachronic dimension of Swedish FrameNet++. We describe the historical lexical resources currently available for Swedish, linked to the Contemporary Swedish lexicon Saldo. We present a case study of how interlinking the dictionaries simultaneously allows us to study… read more
Multiword expressions have attracted much attention in language technology over the last two decades or so, and in general linguistics, the interest in phraseology – which includes the linguistic study of multiword expressions – goes back much further. In our work on the multilingual components… read more
In this chapter we describe a multilingual extension of Swedish FrameNet++, intended to address research questions of a broad comparative nature, in genealogical, areal and typological linguistics, focusing on the integration into Swedish FrameNet++ of so-called core vocabularies, used in several… read more
The Swedish FrameNet++ was designed to be several things. As a digital artifact, it is an integrated panchronic lexical macroresource, primarily for Swedish, but including several other languages, intended as a basic infrastructural component in Swedish language technology research and for… read more
One of the main goals of the Swedish FrameNet++ initiative is to recycle and include as many existing modern Swedish lexical resources as possible into one unified lexical macroresource useful for automatic language processing. In this chapter we describe the structure of Saldo, the central… read more
This chapter describes the development of Swedish FrameNet. A new framenet project often follows one of two methodological approaches: (1) extension, through translation of a different-language – often English – framenet into the target language, and (2) merging, where the resource is built from… read more
In this chapter, we explore how to develop and encode the relationship between wordnets for different languages using some Nordic and Baltic wordnets to illustrate the variety of approaches. We also briefly touch on how these wordnets have been enhanced or augmented with various types of lexical… read more
In this chapter, we describe the close interaction of linguists and language technologists in the Swedish constructicon project. This kind of collaboration is not so common today, because of the way that language technology has developed in recent decades, but in our case the collaboration has been… read more
This chapter addresses central topics in constructicography from the viewpoint of the Swedish constructicon project (SweCcn), focusing on practical constructicon development. The full process of construction description is described and discussed, from selection via corpus analysis to finished… read more
We present an experiment where natural language processing tools are used to automatically identify potential constructions in a corpus. The experiment was conducted as part of the ongoing efforts to develop a Swedish constructicon. Using an automatic method to suggest constructions has advantages… read more
