This paper presents and discusses the lexical results of compiling a comprehensive Danish FrameNet Lexicon by making use of existing and linked lexical data from two Danish resources, namely the groups of verbs and verbal nouns in a Danish thesaurus with the valency patterns of the verbs in a monolingual Danish dictionary. The resulting frame lexicon covers not only a large number of Danish lemmas but also their typical occurrences in texts in the form of a large variety of verbal collocational expressions, multiword units and infinitive phrases representing grammatical constructions based on valency descriptions in the dictionary. The frame lexicon aims at supplying future annotators of semantic frames and roles in Danish texts with a restricted and thereby manageable set of possible frames to choose from when annotating. We present the content of the lexicon in detail, including a comparison with the frame coverage of Berkeley FrameNet.
