Resumen
E-Glava is an online valency dictionary of Croatian verbs. The theoretical approach to valency follows the German tradition, particular ly that of the VALBU dictionary, with some minor changes and adjustments. The main pri nciple of our valency approach is to link valency patterns to specific verb meanings. The verb list is compiled semi-automatically on the basis of the Croatian Frequency Dictionary and Croatian language textbooks. Currently, e-Glava contains descriptions of 57 psychologica l verbs with 187 meanings and 375 valency patterns. The lexicographic articles are written in Tschwanelex. A Document Type Definition editing module has been used, and the descriptio n of verbs follows a three-level linguistic schema prepared for lexicographers. Verbs are distributed throughout 34 semantic classes, and examples are extracted manually from Cr oatian corpora. Fully processed data for each semantic class will be publicly available in th e form of a browsable HTML dictionary. The paper also presents a comparison between e-Glava and other cognate resources, as well as a summary of its main advantages, disadv antages, and potential applied uses.
