Abstract
The SynSemClass synonym verb lexicon version 3.5 investigates, with respect to contextually-based verb synonymy, semantic 'equivalence' of Czech, English and German verb senses and their valency behavior in parallel Czech-English and German-English language resources. SynSemClass3.5 is a multilingual event-type ontology based on classes of synonymous verb senses, complemented with semantic roles and links to existing semantic lexicons.
Apart of the already used links to PDT-Vallex, EngVallex, CzEngVallex, FrameNet, VerbNet, PropBank, Ontonotes, and English WordNet for Czech and English entries the new links to German language lexical resources are exploited for German verb entries, such as Woxikon, E-VALBU, and GUP. The German part of the lexicon has been created within the project Multilingual Event-Type-Anchored Ontology for Natural Language Understanding (META-O-NLU) by two cooperating teams - by the team of the Charles University, Faculty of Mathematics and Physics, Institute of Formal and Applied
