摘要

Semantic lexicon and semantic framework are the primary support of natural language processing tasks such as information extraction, sentiment analysis, and machine translation. Therefore, it is essential to construct the contemporary Chinese common verbs' semantic framework dictionary that covers rich semantic knowledge. Based on an analysis of current research results, this paper defines the lexical framework of common Chinese verbs. According to the predicate thematic roles, the semantic framework is divided into the basic semantic framework and extended semantic framework. Frameworks which are automatically extracted, taking semantics as the processing unit, and summarized based on large-scale lexical and thematic roles labeling corpus. The complete and simplified versions of the verb framework is constructed with the help of manual proofreading. The final verb framework contains a detailed description and corresponding example sentences of 2,782 common verbs with 4,516 meanings.
