Abstract

This paper gives a brief review of available lexicographical resources and databases representing verbal vocabulary. The verb, being one of the most complicated, semantically intricate and grammatically sophisticated parts of speech, is characterized by multiplicity of senses and forms. Semantic structure of any verb is a complex of ontological and relational meaning components that may find a formal expression on different levels of the linguistic structure. Fixing verbs in electronic lexicographical resources, researchers come from different methodological orientations, and prioritize different aspects of the organization of the semantics of verbal vocabulary.
