The Communication Verbs directory contains 28 files, each of which is a directory corresponding to a FrameNet frame that is a sub-category of "Communication". Each contains four sub-directories:

(1) FN-LUs : the lexical units (verbs only) associated with the frame in the FrameNet 1.2 database.

(2) Sense-tagged : the lexical units listed in FN-LUs plus additional verbs, tagged with WordNet 2.0 sense tags. The algorithm by which the sense-tagging of FrameNet LUs is accomplished, and by which additional words are added to the category, is outlined in
