Abstract
Ro-PAAS is a resource which contains the Romanian verbs and their specific argument and adjunct structures. This resource is linked to our dependency Treebank; we have extracted these structures to the trees and each structure has a list of examples. In this paper, we intend to describe the resource and the modalities in which it can be used in other projects. First, we intend to extract rules for building a hybrid, rule and statistic based parser to quickly increase the dimensions of our Treebank. In the second step, the syntactic structures are in relation with the meaning of the predicates; the structures can be used in programs which need a sense disambiguation. In the third step, we intend to start a comparative study on syntactic structures in the old Romanian language pointing out its differences from the contemporary Romanian, and building some tools rule based for processing old Romanian Language.

In folk language uses, there is no concord between subject and predicate, sometimes, in existential sentences; here, we have rendered this in English by ‘There was’, instead of ‘There were’.
