69470 eng Subirats, Carlos International Computer Science Institute, Berkeley CA Surprise: Spanish FrameNet! International Congress of Linguists, Praga In this paper, we characterize a set of emotion frames and examine predicates that involve describing events of surprise in order to introduce the Spanish FrameNet project. We compare the Spanish LUs to those in English in order to characterize the similarities and differences between the lexicalization patterns in the two languages. Finally, we suggest that the existing descriptions of English language based frames can be used to describe the semantic and syntactic valences of the Spanish predicates. The larger project serves as a test case for the development of lexical resources based on the structure and content of the original FrameNet project Article de fons Petruck, Miriam International Computer Science Institute, Berkeley CA Vol. 31, Núm.
