Mapping the Lexique des Verbes du Français (Lexicon of French Verbs) to a NLP lexicon using examples.

This article presents experiments aiming at mapping the Lexique des Verbes du Francais (Lexicon of French Verbs) to FRILEX, a Natural Language Processing (NLP) lexicon based on DICOVALENCE. The two resources (Lexicon of French Verbs and DICOVALENCE) were built by linguists, based on very different theories, which makes a direct mapping nearly impossible. We chose to use the examples provided in one of the resource to find implicit links between the two and make them explicit.
