Title Basics for a comprehensive semantic categorization of Dutch verbs
Abstract Based on a definition analysis project carried out at the INL, this paper puts forward a proposal for a semantic categorisation of Dutch verbs in which existing category systems like the ones in Framenet and in Levin (1993) are integrated with some findings that emerged from the project. A multilayered category structure is proposed in which data about Aktionsart, conceptual field and systematic semantic analysis are all made explicit. This type of categorization is to be used in a Dutch dictionary project, the Algemeen Nederlands Woordenboek (ANW). It is meant as a tool to make common verb definitions in the dictionary more uniform and systematic, but also as a service to scholarly dictionary users whom it will enable to extract easily and systematically bodies of semantically related data from the dictionary.
