| Abstract | The Bank of Russian Constructions and Valencies (Russian FrameBank) is anannotation project that takes as input samples from the Russian National Corpus(http://www.ruscorpora.ru). Since Russian verbs and predicates from other POSclasses have their particular and not always predictable case pattern, thesewords and their argument structures are to be described as lexicalconstructions. The slots of partially filled phrasal constructions (e.g. vzjali uexal ‘he suddenly (lit. took and) went away’) are also under analysis.Thus, the notion of construction is understood in the sense of Fillmore’sConstruction Grammar and is not limited to that of argument structure of verbs.FrameBank brings together the dictionary of constructions and the annotatedcollection of examples. Our goal is to mark the set of arguments and adjunctsof a certain construction. The main focus is on realization of the elements inthe running text, to facilitate searches through pattern realizations by acertain combination of features. The relevant dataset involves lexical, POS andother morphosyntactic tags, semantic classes, as well as grammaticalconstructions that introduce or license the use of elements within a givenconstruction. |
