Important terms in Frame Semantics

This is the official website for the FrameNet Project, housed at the International Computer Science Institute in Berkeley, California.

If you just want to explore, please type a word or phrase into the "Search" box at the upper right; this will look for the word in the FrameNet database. (Verbs are more likely to give interesting results than nouns.)

For a more structured approach to learning about FrameNet, please begin with the "About" link above.

Almost all of the FrameNet data can be reached by browsing this website - you do not need a login to browse. If you need a machine-readable copy of the data in XML format, please click on the "Get the Data" button or select "FrameNet Data/Request FrameNet Data".

Thanks. - Collin Baker, Project Manager
