Subject: Annotation of semantics roles

 
Hello,

I work in the Arabic language, and I am developing a supervised method for the
annotation of semantic roles (thematic roles). I am using Arabic VerbNet as a
reference for the annotation (I am using the thematic classes and roles of
VerbNet Arabic). However, this supervised method requires an annotated corpus.

My questions: 

1. Do you think it's justified to use VerbNet for the annotation? 
2. What is the solution for the corpus? An annotated corpus using Arabic
VerbNet as a reference does not exist. 

Thank you!
