• Spanish FrameNet. An On-Line Lexical Resource and its Application to Spanish NLP: Spanish FrameNet (SFN) is an ongoing research project which is creating an online lexical resource for Spanish, based on frame semantics and supported by corpus evidence. SFN is now open and available to the public with 300 frames, more than 1.000 lexical units (LU)--600 of them fully annotated--adding up to over 10,000 annotated sentences. The aim of SFN is to document the range of semantic and syntactic combinatory possibilities (valences) of each word in each of its senses, through (1) semiautomatic annotated example sentences, and (2) automatic capture and organization of the annotation results. You may see the data by visiting http://gemini.uab.es/SFN. Click on 'SFN Data' to browse the data: - Check out the new web reports including frame definitions, word senses (lexical units) with annotation, and valence reports. - Use FrameSQL--developed by H. Sato (Senshu Uni., Japan)--and search the SFN database by frame, lemma, FEs, specific phrase types, etc. - Play with the FrameGrapher which allows you to interact with a visual representation of the frame to frame relations in the SFN data. The aim of SFN is to document the range of semantic and syntactic combinatory possibilities (valences) of each word in each of its senses, through (1) semiautomatic annotated example sentences, and (2) automatic capture and organization of the annotation results.

• Hungarian WordNet Page: This page is dedicated to provide information about the ongoing project aiming at the construction of the Hungarian WordNet. You can find a short description, download working papers, find contact info and useful links on this small page.

• Word Formation as a Structuring Device of the English and Italian Lexicons: A Large-Scale Exploration: A significant portion of the English and Italian vocabularies (60,000 lexemes each) are classified in terms of a description of the rule system for word formation and inflection. The Word Manager system is used as the basis.

• Universal Index of Doctoral Dissertations in Progress: www.phddata.org is a pioneering academic trial, attempting to create a WORLDWIDE INDEX OF CURRENT DOCTORAL THESES IN PROGRESS. Such an index is a must in today’s research world, both in order to prevent duplication and for the purpose of enabling interactive communication between researchers and instructors around the world. This site is in still in its beginning stages but already includes advanced capabilities to search for theses. The site also allows users to communicate with those who have their theses registered on the site. The site is open and free of charge for all users. Thank you Daniel Vainstub - www.phddata.org phddata@mailworks.org

• Grupo de Estructuras de Datos: El Grupo de Estructuras de Datos y Lingüística Computacional del Departamento de Informática y Sistemas de la Universidad de Las Palmas de Gran Canaria ha estado trabajando desde 1986 en el análisis de estructuras de datos aplicadas a la recuperación asociativa de información. A partir de 1990 ha ampliado sus áreas de interés al procesamiento del lenguaje natural y la lingüística computacional, desarrollando trabajos en morfología computacional, sintaxis automatizada, análisis de textos y lexicografía.

• METALUDE: This is an interactive database of 9,000+ lexicalised English metaphors, arranged by conceptual metaphor or metaphor theme categories. It enables searches by lexical item, target, source or source/target. Each lexical item gives a literal meaning, a metaphorical meaning, word-class information, and an example. All lexis is attested as a headword in a dictionary of contemporary English. The database will soon incorporate Chinese translations.

• Thai Computational Linguistics Laboratory: TCL carries out research on knowledge, language and information, including Human Language Technology, Intelligent Information Infrastructure and Open Source Software related for language processing.

• LexicographGlagol: The site is devoted to the semantic description of Russian verbs in the system Lexicograph. At present, one can find there the information about the participants of the project and their publications in some instances accompanies with pdf. files of full texts, as well as get familiar with the principles of verb description in the system and the history of the project. In the coming time the data base

• Corpus Presenter website (corpus processing software): A new website has been installed at Essen University in Germany which is dedicated to the program Corpus Presenter. It is intended as a guide to this corpus processing software and offers an intuitive means of navigating to the various sections. These explain in a simple and visually effective way just what one can do with Corpus Presenter and why it might be of benefit to scholars or students who wish to obtain quick and accurate results from examining any texts or corpora. One particular reason for mounting this website now is to offer information about the new version of Corpus Presenter - Version 9 - which has been written specifically for Windows XP and which contains many improvements in terms of speed and flexibility over earlier versions of the program suite. Anyone who has purchased the book Corpus Presenter (John Benjamins, Amsterdam, 2003), or whose library has, should download the version 9 update and send me an email for the registration code (only needs to be entered once). The website also contains a *free* version, called Corpus Presenter Lite, which can be downloaded with a small test corpus and used straight away. The lite version contains all functions of the full version, except the most sophisticated level of text retrieval. It is not protected in any way and can be distributed freely, for instance, to interested colleagues or students taking courses on corpus linguistics. The website has been designed and is maintained by the author of Corpus Presenter, Raymond Hickey.
