Frames do turismo esportivo no dicionário Copa 2014 - FrameNet Brasil

Abstract

The following paper intends to present the creation process of the frames TURISMO_COMO_EVENTO_ESPORTIVO as well as combinations of syntacticsemantic lexical units that evoke those frames. This paper brings a presentation of studies related to the project World Cup 2014 FrameNet Brazil, which is configured as a product of technological innovation and has as main objective to develop, electronically, a thematic trilingual dictionary (Portuguese - English - Spanish) for human users, covering the dominance of Soccer and Tourism, based on Semantic Frames. (SALOMÃO, M.M.M; TORRENT, T.T.; CAMPOS, F.C.A.; BRAGA, R.M.M. & VIEIRA, M.B., 2011). The project World Cup 2014 FrameNet Brazil is characterized as a deployment of the macro Project FrameNet Brazil that was being developed at the Federal University of Juiz de Fora in association with the International Computer Science Institute (USA), which hosts the FrameNet Project, which has existed for more than 10 years at the University of California in Berkeley, and is led by Professor Charles Fillmore. The Project Brazil FrameNet aims to create a lexical resource available online for research on the Brazilian Portuguese, based on the semantics of frames and supported by evidence collected in corpus (FILLMORE, 1982, 1985; Gawron, 2008, and others). For the construction of this dictionary the top-down methodology was used, which is characterized by the American FrameNet pursuit of the frames that answer to the theme proposed by such, along with the bottom-up methodology of the Kicktionary project, in which first the lexical units (ULs) are identified in the corpora and afterwards micro thematic functions are ascribed to related syntactic elements and the frames evoked by those ULs are set up. The sentences used in the analysis were taken from the FIFA corpora and Centenfolha, using the tool Word Sketch from Sketch Engine. The paper about description of lexical frames in matter contributed to the ultimate goal of the 2014 World Cup Project, which is to describe the conceptual structures related to the dominance of Tourism and Soccer in the three target languages of the dictionary.
