  • Summary

    The chapter explains the process of annotating constructions for semantic roles. Constructions expressing nine semantic fields have been annotated, with each noun phrase, adjective phrase, or clause in the construction given one of a finite set of labels. The process is compared with approaches to role identification taken in Corpus Pattern Analysis (Hanks), Systemic Functional Grammar (Halliday and Matthiessen), Local Grammar (Barnbrook, Su) and FrameNet (Fillmore). The role names used in this book, with their definitions, are listed for each of the nine semantic fields used as examples.
