The last of these was specifically designed to bring together two sometimes separate groups of researchers, those concentrating on frame semantics and those concentrating on construction grammar, which Charles J. Fillmore and many of the same colleagues developed in parallel over a period of several decades. The call for papers of the current conference emphasized that the workshop would welcome studies of both theoretical and practical issues, and we are fortunate to have strong contributions of both types, sometimes within a single paper. A number of the papers arise out of the parallel annotation of Ken Robinson's TED talk \"Do schools kill creativity?\". This very popular talk has been translated (or at least subtitled) in a wide variety of languages. The attendees at the International FrameNet Workshop in 2016 decided that different groups would undertake Frame Semantic annotation for it, based on Berkeley FrameNet Release 1.7 as shared standard. These efforts have raised a number of important theoretical issues while also helping new FrameNet projects to get underway in several languages.", "cite_spans": [], "ref_spans": [], "eq_spans": [], "section": "Introduction", "sec_num": null }, { "text": "\u2022 Gargett and Leung describe the building of a new FrameNet for Emirati Arabic, and how they were able to use novel combinations of existing databases and tools to create an Emirati Arabic corpus and begin annotating it semiautomatically with frames and frame elements derived mainly from Berkeley FrameNet.
