EngVallex - English Valency Lexicon

EngVallex (latest version is EngValex 2.0) is a valency lexicon fo English. It has been created as a part of the annotation of the tectogrammatical annotation of the English side of the parallel corpus Prague Czech-English Dependency Treebank (latest version is PCEDT 3.0), which corresponds to the Penn Treebank WSJ corpus (translated to Czech, as part of PCEDT) and annotated in PDT-style. Each occurrence of a verb in the English part of the corpus is assigned a valency frame listed in the EngVallex lexicon, connecting thus the lexicon and the corpus. Each entry in EngVallex is moreover linked to PropBank entries, e.g., for comparison purposes.

EngVallex 2.0 contains 7950 valency frames for 4515 verbs.

 

EngVallex is now being developed as part of the CzEngVallex and SynSemClass projects, which use EngVallex as its underlying lexicon.
