Our work is based on the English Verb Classes and Alternations of (Levin, 1993). We explore how these classes are manifested in other languages, in particular, in Bangla, German, and Korean. Our report includes a survey and classi cation of several hundred verbs from these languages into the cross-linguistic equivalents of Levin's classes. We also explore ways in which our ndings may be used to enhance WordNet in two ways: making the English syntactic information of WordNet more ne-grained, and making WordNet multilingual.
