| Abstract | This is an overall description of ADESSE ("Base de datos de verbos,Alternancias de Diátesis y Esquemas Sintactico-Semánticos del Español"),an online database (http://adesse.uvigo.es/) with syntactic and semanticinformation for all clauses in a corpus of Spanish. The manually annotatedcorpus has 1.5 million words, 159,000 clauses and 3,450 different verb lemmas.ADESSE is an expanded version of BDS ("Base de datos sintácticos del españolactual"), which contains the grammatical features of verbs and verb-argumentsin the corpus. ADESSE has added semantic features such as verb sense, verbclass and semantic role of arguments to make possible a detailed syntactic andsemantic corpus-based characterization of verb valency. Each verb entry in thedatabase is described in terms of valency potential and valency realizations(diatheses). The former includes a set of semantic roles of participants in aparticular event type and a classification into a conceptual hierarchy ofprocess types. Valency realizations are described in terms of correspondencesof voice, syntactic functions and categories, and semantic roles. Verbs sensesare discriminated at two levels: a more abstract level linked to a valencypotential, and more specific verb senses taking into account particular lexicalinstantiations of arguments. |
