Our first set of experiments aims at refining the initial semantic characterization of the classes by linking them to independently constructed semantic classifications at the word sense level.
we consider three different semantic classifications from computational lexicons, which have been created by linguistic experts: (i) the so-called semantic fields in GermaNet, grouping verb senses into 15 coarse classes, such as perception, emotion, (ii) the verb classes given in VerbNet, and (iii) the Frame-semantic frames in FrameNet.
