| Abstract | This paper reports on the status of our ongoing project to extend, refine, and maintain the lexicon of the ElixirFM system. The latest release of ElixirFM has been enriched with valency frames for selected verbal lexemes. We briefly outline some other similar projects for Modern Standard Arabic and present crucial axioms of the approach we have adopted, which is Functional Generative Description. Our contribution focuses mainly on describing the annotation procedure, resources and tools, as well as on the representation of the valency phenomena in form of dependency trees in the lexicon. We also point at some intricate issues concerning reciprocal meaning associated with some verbs. Such a valency lexicon for Arabic can find broad use in various NLP tasks and applications, in addition to its reusability by the users of the language. |
