The Lexicon

Maturity level: advanced

The Lexicon stores the following types of information about lexical units:

 

  • Basic: headword, index, and language.

  • Morphosyntax: graphical variant, abbreviation, phrase constituents, category, number, gender, countability, degree, adjectival position, verb paradigm and constraints, and pronominalization.

  • Core Grammar: Aktionsart, lexical template and construction.

  • Miscellaneous: dialect, style, domain, example and translation.

 

FunGramKB and the Lexical-Constructional Model share their lexical model. However, this model is not a literal implementation of the lexical database in Role and Reference Grammar (RRG), since some important contributions have been introduced with the aim of building a robust knowledge base, although the major linguistic assumptions of RRG are preserved, i.e. logical structures, macroroles, and the rest of the linking algorithm.
