Abstract

This work reports on ongoing research aimed at modeling a metonymic relationship in the FrameNet Brasil database. This paper is based on a case study with the Teams frame. Both the frame and the corpus consulted are part of a frame-based trilingual (Portuguese -- Spanish -- English) electronic dictionary covering the soccer, tourism and World Cup domains developed by FrameNet Brasil. The
basic infrastructure, analytical categories and methodology used were those developed for FrameNet (Fillmore et al. 2003, Baker et al. 2003, Ruppenhofer et al. 2010), which can be defined as an
application of Frame Semantics to practical lexicography.
