    Scope: Chapter 5 "Relations between frames and constructions: A proposal from the Japanese FrameNet constructicon" pp.141-164

     View Summary

    This chapter discusses relations between frames and constructions, based on the constructicon-building project within the Japanese FrameNet (JFN) project. The aims are: to clarify distinctions between a framenet lexicon and a constructicon; and to contribute to the on-going discussion on whether all constructions are “meaning-bearing.” I will argue that a framenet analysis involves annotating frame-based syntactic/semantic structures of words (simple words and multiwords), while a constructicon annotation pertains to describing the internal and external syntax/semantics of linguistic objects that have complex structures. While maintaining that all constructions are meaning-bearing, I will point out that meaning structures of some constructions may not involve frames and propose a frame-based classification of constructions. Finally, I will suggest that a constructicon annotation needs both semantic frames and interactional frames.

  • Frame integration and head-switching RISK in English and Japanese

    Research paper (scientific journal), Accepted,  ISSN  18761933

     View Summary

    Employing Frame Semantics as implemented in the Berkeley FrameNet database, this paper analyzes English sentences expressing concerns of risk derived from the British National Corpus and their Japanese translations (created for the purposes of the current study). It introduces the ideas of content and interpretation predicates, frame integration, and head-switching as effectual devices for recognizing obscure constructional equivalences across languages. Our findings shed light on the development of a new contrastive framework for verbal predicativity: that is, a framework based on the recognition of content and interpretation predicates and how it intersects with the categorical distinction in lexicalization patterns between verbs and adverbs.

    16th International Cognitive Linguistics Conference (ICLC16) (HHU Düsseldorf) , 

    2023.08

    Oral presentation (invited, special)

     View Summary

    In this talk I will discuss FrameNet (FN), an online language resource called FrameNet (FN), and similar language resources in other languages such as Spanish, Japanese, German, Swedish and Brazilian Portuguese. FN documents the meanings and usages of contemporary English words in terms of semantic frames, that is, background knowledge structures that speakers can access about various experiences associated with the words. I will focus on two aspects of FN: (1) its relations to the theories of Frame Semantics (e.g., Fillmore & Baker 2015) and Construction Grammar (e.g., Fillmore et al. 2012); and (2) its relevance to cognitive linguists in the age of deep learning.
    After characterizing FN as a practical realization of Frame Semantics and Construction Grammar (e.g., Ruppenhoffer et al. 2016, Baker & Fillmore 2004), I will argue that the FN research and resource-building project has contributed extensively to advances in the two theories.
    Next, I will show that FN has garnered attention in the field of natural language processing (NLP) (e.g., Gildea & Jurafsky 2002) and it will continue to gain further prominence for enhancing NLP technologies.
    Finally, I will suggest that in the age of deep learning, collaboration between linguists and NLP researchers is both important and critical (cf. Bender 2020). Equally important and necessary is our continued qualitative description and analysis of linguistic data, since only linguists can develop hypotheses concerning speaker knowledge of language (cf. Fillmore 1992). Examining FrameNet data is a good place to start.

    本研究の究極の目的は、現代日本語の構文を、「フレーム知識」を介して英語・独語・スウェーデン語・中国語などの言語類型論的に 異なる言語の構文と対応付け、マルチリンガル構文資源を構築することである。マルチリンガル構文資源を構築するには、同じ意味・機 能を持つ多言語の構文同士を対応付ける必要があるが、一般に言語類型論的に異なる言語間では構文の対応付けが困難と考えられ ている。本研究では、「フレーム・構文分析」手法を用いれば、構造は異なるが同じ意味や機能を持つ日英語間の構文同士を対応付け られることを検証する。
