Cross-Linguistic Semantic Annotation: Reconciling the Language-Specific and the Universal
Developers of cross-linguistic semantic annotation schemes face a number of issues not encountered in monolingual annotation. This paper discusses four such issues, related to the establishment of annotation labels, and the treatment of languages with more fine-grained, more coarse-grained, and cross-cutting categories. We propose that a lattice-like architecture of the annotation categories can adequately handle all four issues, and at the same time remain both intuitive for annotators and faithful to typological insights. This position is supported by a brief annotation experiment.

FrameNet and Typology
FrameNet and the Multilingual FrameNet project have produced multilingual semantic annotations of parallel texts that yield extremely fine-grained typological insights. Moreover, frame semantic annotation of a wide cross…
DiversityDoes injecting linguistic structure into language models lead to better alignment with brain recordings?
Neuroscientists evaluate deep neural networks for natural language processing as possible candidate models for how language is processed in the brain. These models are often trained without explicit linguistic supervisio…
MASALA: Modelling and Analysing the Semantics of Adpositions in Linguistic Annotation of Hindi
We present a completed, publicly available corpus of annotated semantic relations of adpositions and case markers in Hindi. We used the multilingual SNACS annotation scheme, which has been applied to a variety of typolog…
Standardisation and Interoperation of Morphosyntactic and Syntactic Annotation Tools for Spanish and their Annotations
Linguistic annotation tools and linguistic annotations are scarcely syntactically and/or semantically interoperable. Their low interoperability usually results from the number of factors taken into account in their devel…
Capturing syntactico-semantic regularities among terms: An application of the FrameNet methodology to terminology
Terminological databases do not always provide detailed information on the linguistic behaviour of terms, although this is important for potential users such as translators or students. In this paper we describe a projec…
