In recent years, the integration of manually-built lexical resources into NLP systems has received growing interest.
resources annotated with the surface realization of semantic roles, like FrameNet (Baker et al., 1998) or PropBank (Palmer et al., 2005) have shown to convey an improvement in several NLP tasks, from question answering (Shen and Lapata, 2007) to textual entailment (Burchardt et al., 2007) and shallow semantic parsing (Giuglea and Moschitti, 2006).
