/><b>Descripción</b><br /><p>This research presents the design of a
template for encoding and describing phraseological information in the
environmental knowledge base, EcoLexicon (ecolexicon.ugr.es). One of
the objectives of this study was to formulate a methodology that could
also be used to codify phraseological information in other specialized
knowledge domains. The focus of our analysis was on verb collocations
(verb+noun, noun+verb) because of the need to enrich specialized
knowledge resources with information regarding predicates and their
arguments. As is well known, verbs are an extremely important part of
language since, in a manner of speaking, they set the scene or
establish the structure for the rest of the sentence. However, very
few specialized knowledge resources include them. <br /><br />The
phraseological template proposed in this research takes its
theoretical premises from cognitive approaches to Terminology, namely,
Sociocognitive Terminology and Frame-based Terminology. In addition,
assumptions from linguistic models that deal with predicate argument
structure were also included, such as the Lexical Grammar Model,
Lexical Constructional Model, Role and Reference Grammar, and
FrameNet. <br /><br />The practical guidelines for the design of our
template were based on a detailed analysis of the most representative
lexicographic and terminographic resources that contain phraseological
information. A set of the most important meaning-based resources for
verb description was also analyzed. The underlying idea of our
research is that verbs and their potential arguments can be classified
and structured in a set of conceptual-semantic categories typical of a
given specialized domain. In this context, when semantic roles and
macroroles are specified as well as the resulting phrase structure, it
is then possible to establish templates that represent this meaning
for entire frames. In this regard, within the context of a specialized
knowledge domain, the range of verbs generally associated with
potential arguments can be predicted within the frame of a specialized
event. This occurs, of course, because the nature of arguments is
constrained by verb meaning. However, it is our assertion that this
influence is reciprocal since in specialized language, verbs are also
to some extent constrained by their arguments. In this regard, there
is an interaction between the meaning components of the entities and
processes activated in specialized knowledge event representations.
<br /><br />Finally, the results of our analysis have been implemented
in EcoLexicon. As shown, the methodology proposed in this thesis for
encoding and describing verbal collocations in terminographic
resources is useful both for text comprehension and text production.
