Abstract
This paper presents a sophisticated way to search valency lexicons. We provide a visualization of lexicons with such built-in searching that allows users to draw sophisticated queries in a graphical mode.
We exploit the PML-TQ, a query language based on the tree editor TrEd. For demonstration purposes, we focus on VALLEX and PDT-VALLEX, two Czech valency lexicons of verbs.
We propose a common lexicon data format supported by PML-TQ. This format offers easy viewing both lexicons, parallel searching and interlinking them.
The proposed method is universal and can be used for other hierarchically structured lexicons.
