Abstract
The SynSemClass synonym verb lexicon version 5 investigates, with respect to contextually-based verb synonymy, semantic 'equivalence' of Czech, English, Spanish, and German verb senses and their valency behavior in parallel Czech-English, Spanish-English, and German-English language resources. SynSemClass 5 is a multilingual event-type ontology based on classes of synonymous verb senses, complemented with semantic roles and links to existing semantic lexicons.
The SynSemClass is not only enriched by an additional number of classes but in the context of content hierarchy, some classes have been merged. Compared to the older version of the lexicon, the novelty is Spanish class members.
