Growing TreeLex

International audienceTreeLex is a subcategorization lexicon of French, automatically extracted from a syntactically annotated corpus. The lexicon comprises 2006 verbs (25076 occurrences). The goal of the project is to obtain a list of subcategorization frames of contemporary French verbs and to estimate the number of different verb frames available in French in general. A few more frames are discovered when the corpus size changes, but the average number of frames per verb remains relatively stable (about 1.91--2.09 frames per verb)
