Automatically Deriving Tectogrammatical Labels from Other Resources: A Comparison of Semantic Labels Across Frameworks

Local semantic labels are relevant to the verb meaning in question, while global semantic labels are relevant across different verbs and verb meanings. We show that global semantic labels from different frameworks are not necessarily compatible and argue that, therefore, corpora should be annotated with local semantic labels and that global semantic labels should then be automatically annotated using framework-specific lexicons.
