Review text

The aim of the paper is to investigate the representation of verb forms and verb concepts in WordNet, an electronic lexical database of English containing over 120,000 concepts (expressed by nouns, verbs, adjectives, and verbs). Two main problems are examined: (1) The organization of the verb lexicon as synonym sets (synsets), which include non-literal verb meanings, provides the possibility of taking into account the constraints on the extended uses of words; (2) A hierarchical organization of verbs points out how the particular classification of verbs in WordNet reflects the regular syntactic behaviour of verbs in terms of transitivity alternations. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0912.00026].
