Swedish FrameNet++ and comparative linguistics

• In this chapter we describe a multilingual extension of Swedish FrameNet++, intended to address research questions of a broad comparative nature, in genealogical, areal and typological linguistics, focusing on the integration into Swedish FrameNet++ of so-called core vocabularies, used in several linguistic subfields in order to conduct massive comparative studies involving large numbers of languages. Specifically, we describe the inclusion of two such lexical databases covering several hundred South Asian languages, with the aim of investigating areal and genealogical connections among these languages.
