Abstract
We aim at a procedure of automatic generation of valency frames for verbs not covered in VALLEX, a lexicon of Czech verbs. We exploit the classification of verbs into syntactico-semantic classes. This article describes our first step to automatically identify verbs of communication and to assign the prototypical frame to them. The method of identification is evaluated against two versions of VALLEX and FrameNet 1.2. For the purpose of frame generation, a new metric based on the notion of frame edit distance is outlined.
