| Abstract | In this article I present a lexicon for Arabic verbs which exploits Levin’sverb-classes (Levin, 1993) and the basic development procedure used by(Schuler, 2005). The verb lexicon in its current state has 173 classes whichcontain 4392 verbs and 498 frames providing information about verb root, thedeverbal form of the verb, the participle, thematic roles, subcategorisationframes and syntactic and semantic descriptions of each verb. The taxonomy isavailable in XML format. It can be ported to MYSQL, YAML or JSON and accessedeither in Arabic characters or in the Buckwalter transliteration. |
