Abstract
ABSTRACTIn this paper, we investigate the relationship between the number of frames, the length and the frequency of verbs in Hungarian, based on data gathered from the short business news sub-corpus of the Szeged Dependency Treebank. We hypothesize that the most frequent verbs have the most valency frames, the shortest verbs are the most frequent ones and the shortest verbs have the most valency frames. We extend our investigations to full valency frames as well, where arguments and adjuncts are treated in the same way. We also compare the valency frames gathered from the treebank to those found in a valency lexicon constructed on a theoretical basis. Our results support the above hypotheses in the case of valency frames and full valency frames as well.
