Croatian Valency Lexicon

The Croatian Valency Lexicon of Verbs, Version 2.0008 (CROVALLEX 2.0008) is an attempt of formal description of valency frames of Croatian verbs. CROVALLEX 2.0008 was developed as the part of the PhD thesis titled Approaches to the Development of the Machine Lexicon for Croatian Language written by Nives Mikelic Preradovic. The Functional Generative Description (FGD), being developed by Czech linguists Petr Sgall and his collaborators since the 1960s, is used as the background theory in CROVALLEX 2.0008. for the description of valency frames of selected verbs. CROVALLEX 2.0008 contains roughly 1740 verbs. They were selected from the Croatian frequency dictionary, according to their number of occurrences.
