Abstract

This paper presents some steps in manually building a verb valency lexicon for Romanian. We refer to some major previous works by focusing on their information representation. We select that information for different stages of our project and we show the conceptual problems encountered during the first phase. Finally we present the gradually building procedure of the lexicon and we exemplify the manner in which the information is represented in a lexicon entry.
