Modelagem linguístico-computacional de metonímias na base de conhecimento multilíngue (m.knob) da FrameNet Brasil

Abstract

According to Cognitive Linguistics researchers, metonymy is one of the phenomena serving as the basis for human conceptualization and reveals forms of cognitive functioning (LA-KOFF, 1989, KOVECSES & RADDEN, 1999, BARCELONA, 2003). On the other hand, it is not clarified as far as the delimitation of the concept, because there are different principles in its setting-of. Int his dissertation, the potential of Frame Semantics (FILLMORE, 1982) and FrameNet (RUPPENHOFER ET AL, 2016) in the lexicographical recognization of me-tonymies is emphasized in order to develop a linguistic-computational model for the Multilin-gual Knowledge Base of FrameNet Brazil, the m.knob. This research studies the literature about metonymy in order to validate the existing theory in a practical resource. To achieve this goal, we also explore the cognitive model proposed by Ibãnéz & Masegosa (2014). The authors use the principles of Cognitive Linguistics, including frames and corpora. Our me-thodology includes a metonymic test during the course Oficina Mediada por Computador, held in Faculty of Linguistics and Literature, at Federal University of Juiz de Fora, we also include an analysis of such data via FrameNet Brasil annotation procedures. In conclusion, we have expanded the FrameNet relations between frames and frame elements for m.knob use. Future researchers include the validation of these relations for the generic domain data of FrameNet Brazil.
