Applying FrameNet to Chinese(Poetry)

FrameNet( Fillmore and Baker [2009] ) is well-known for its wide use for knowledge representation in the form of inheritance-based ontologies and lexica( Trott et al. [2020] ). Although FrameNet is usually applied to languages like English, Spanish and Italian, there are still plenty of FrameNet data sets available for other languages like Chinese, which differs significantly from those languages based on Latin alphabets. In this paper, the translation from ancient Chinese Poetry to modern Chinese will be first conducted to further apply the Chinese FrameNet(CFN, provided by Shanxi University). Afterwards, the translation from modern Chinese will be conducted as well for the comparison between the applications of CFN and English FrameNet. Finally, the overall comparison will be draw between CFN to modern Chinese and English FrameNet.
