The SenSem project: Syntactico-semantic annotation of sentences in Spanish

This paper presents SenSem, a project that aims to systematize the behavior of verbs in Spanish at the lexical, syntactic and semantic level. As part of the project, two resources are being built: a corpus where sentences are associated to their syntactico-semantic interpretation and a lexicon where each verb sense is linked to the corresponding annotated examples in the corpus. Some tendencies that can be observed in the current state of development are also discussed.
