摘要:FrameNet Brasil (FN-Br) aims to develop the Brazilian Portuguese branch of the FrameNetinitiative, started by Charles J. Fillmore at the International Computer Sciences Institute, in Berkeley. Since2007, FN-Br has been developing lexicographic analyses of Brazilian Portuguese based on the principles ofFrame Semantics and supported by corpus evidence. This paper reports on the construction of a series ofanalytical categories supporting lexicographic annotation in FN-Br. We discuss the creation of new phrase typeand grammatical function labels for FN-Br, since the original ones were proposed for English. Also, we presentthe theoretical background behind the creation of such labels
