Using FrameNet to construct a lexicon of violence

What is it about?

FrameNet is cognitive-based language resource available in multiple languages. In this study, FrameNet is used to gather all lexical units expressing the concept of violence, in English, and to relate each word to the context within which it is typically used. Thus, a relatively comprehensive linguistic and pragmatic view of violence is sketched.

Why is it important?

The paper is a contribution to the emerging filed of cognitive lexicography which recruits cognition-based theories in the process of compiling dictionaries. Therefore, the proposed language resource is aimed at reflecting the way by which violence is cognized and lexicalized in English.
