    <Paragraph position="0"> We have annotated the major part of EngValLex.</Paragraph>
    <Paragraph position="1"> In the nal version, a small part of the lexicon will be annotated by a second annotator in order to determine the inter-annotator agreement.</Paragraph>
    <Paragraph position="2"> The annotation of the Prague English Dependency Treebank on the tectogrammatical level will be started soon and we will use EngValLex for assigning valency frames to verbs. The annotation 1E.g. Arg0 typically corresponds to ACT, and Arg1 to PAT when they co-occur. Yet, a roleset including an inchoative sentence (The door.ARG1 opened.) and a causative sentence (John.Arg0 opened the door.Arg1) will be split into two FGD frames. The causative frame will keep Arg0-ACT and Arg1-PAT whereas the inchoative will get Arg1-ACT.</Paragraph>
    <Paragraph position="3"> 2 http://ufal.mff.cuni.cz/[?]semecky/ software/{propbank|verbnet}viewer/ will be based on the same theoretical background as the Prague Dependency Treebank.</Paragraph>
    <Paragraph position="4"> Due to the PropBank links in EngValLex, we will be able to automatically derive frame annotation of PEDT from PropBank annotation of the Penn Treebank.</Paragraph>
    <Paragraph position="5"> As the Wall Street Journal sentences are manually translated into Czech, we will be able to obtain their Czech tectogrammatical representations automatically using state-of-art parsers.</Paragraph>
    <Paragraph position="6"> A solid platform for testing Czech-English and English-Czech machine translation will be given.</Paragraph>
    <Paragraph position="7"> In the future we will also try to improve the translation by mapping the Czech PDT-ValLex to the English EngValLex.</Paragraph>
