Copa 2014 FrameNet Brasil: diretrizes para a constituição de um dicionário eletrônico trilíngue a partir da análise de frames da experiência turística

Abstract

This work is part of the subproject 2014 World Cup FrameNet Brasil (SALOMÃO ET AL., 2011), an initiative of FrameNet Brazil in partnership with the FrameCorp project (CHISHMAN ET AL., 2008) and Berkeley FrameNet (FILLMORE ET AL. 2003), which proposes developing a trilingual electronic dictionary - English, Portuguese, Spanish - for the domains of the World Cup, Soccer, and Tourism. The development of this resource is different from the other electronic dictionaries because it is structured within the theory of Frame Semantics (FILLMORE, 1982, 1985; PETRUCK, 1996) and the methodology of FrameNet (FILLMORE ET AL., 2003, 2003a; RUPPENHOFER ET AL., 2010). The contribution of this research is to establish guidelines for structuring this dictionary through the analysis of tourist experience frames. Therefore, some questions guide the development of this work: i) How does this resource respond to the challenges involved in structuring multilingual lexical resources? ii) Is it possible to use frames as an interlingual representation? iii) What evaluation can be made of Kicktionary, a multilingual dictionary of football as a product that uses both FrameNet and WordNet (Miller, 1993, 1995; FELLBAUM, 1998)? The answers to these considerations have shown that: i) frames of the tourist domain are modeled in the same way by different cultures; ii) FrameNet needs to adapt to the specificities imposed by multilingual lexicography, but due to the transcultural nature of Tourism and also the Soccer and the World Cup, frames can be used as interlingua; ii) the Kicktionary, as specialized multilingual dictionary which uses frames and synsets, should review the functionality of each theory in structuring databases. Intralinguistic relations could happen via WordNet, and interlingual relations via FrameNet.
