Spanish FrameNet (SFN http://gemini.uab.es/SFN) is a research project whichis creating an online lexical resource for Spanish, based on framesemantics and supported by corpus evidence. SFN is now open and availableto the public with 300 frames, more than 1.000 lexical units (LU)--600 ofthem fully annotated--adding up to over 10,000 annotated sentences.

The aim of SFN is to document the range of semantic and syntacticcombinatory possibilities (valences) of each word in each of its senses,through (1) semiautomatic annotated example sentences, and (2) automaticcapture and organization of the annotation results.

You may see the data by visiting http://gemini.uab.es/SFN. Click on ''SFNData'' 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 theSFN database by frame, lemma, FEs, specific phrase types, etc.- Play with the FrameGrapher which allows you to interact with a visualrepresentation of the frame to frame relations in the SFN data.

SFN is headquartered at the Autonomous University of Barcelona (Spain), andis developed in cooperation with the FrameNet Project which is carried outat International Computer Science Institute (Berkeley, CA). SFN iscurrently sponsored by the Department of Science and Innovation of Spain(FFI2008-0875) and the Fundación Comillas.
