[Lexicog] Frame Semantics

[Wayne Leman]

I have always been fascinated by the work of Charles Fillmore, from his
early work on case grammar  (remember that little gray anthology which
contained his article, "The Case for Case" ?!), to other important areas of
language research. Some of you may be aware that Fillmore continues his
semantic research now under the label of Frame Semantics. There is link to
Frame Semantics information in the Links section of our list website. (Click
on Links, then Homepages, then scroll down and click on FrameNet.)

For those of you on this list who have some familiarity with Frame
Semantics, would you be willing to share with list subscribers how FS, or
even the mindset of approaching lexicons from a lexically rich viewpoint
similar to FS, could help improve dictionaries produced around the world,
especially those which a number of us on the list are working on,
dictionaries for "minority languages"?
