María A. Barrios(Mel’čuk and Wanner, 1996) was applied to the domains of LFs, and then the principleof domain inheritance was defined. To implement this principle, a databaseBADELE.3000 was created, so that all predictable collocations could be automaticallyobtained. Consequently, the first aim of this research, that is, to study the domain ofLFs, was accompanied by a second objective: to develop a methodology that wouldspeed up the lexicographical work. The database produced 9,136 collocationsautomatically; out of them, 11, 606 were taken from Bosque (2006, 2004a) and addedmanually after having been formalized; thus a total of 20,739 collocations wereformalized. Moreover, the inheritance of glosses and values for each domain made itnecessary to develop a classification of nouns which was nonexistent until now.Chapter 1 presents a formal typology of 3,300 nouns (those most commonlyused in Spanish, partly extracted from Almela’s et al.’s corpus, 2005). This typology,which was essential for applying the inheritance principle, is based on the traditionalsemantic labels of the MTT that have been renamed as hierarchical semantic labels.Unlike other MTT typologies (cf. Dicouèbe), the one presented here shows that lexicalunits sharing a hierarchical semantic label either belong to the domain of a LF or evenshare some of its values (very rarely any other semantic feature has been resorted). Thisnew typology has been deliberately designed as a linguistic rather than as a conceptualone.The existence of reticular semantic labels (semantic features shared by thoseLFs that do not share hierarchical labels) is proposed. It allows a type of reticularlexicographical entry to be designed. These entries could be suitable as a source ofknowledge for the later development of ontologies. From chapter 2 to 5 we havedefined the types of nouns corresponding to the most productive LFs’ domain and thedomain features that are shared by those nouns. Following paragraphs summarize theconclusions of these chapters.In chapter 2 the problems posed by the fulfillment verbs LFs are studied. I showthat these LFs need a thorough revision, because they express meanings that are notonly related to lexis but also to semantics and pragmatics. Carel & Ducrut’s adversativetests have been applied. It is verified that there is an objective feature that can be“expected” in a substantial amount of the collocations covered by these LFs. Theproblem lies on the fact that such feature varies in certain linguistic contexts due toextralinguistic reasons.434
