The main goal of the project is the description of the categories of aviation within semantic frames. One of the tasks towards achieving this goal is developing a methodology for the syntactic and semantic analysis of the language for specialized purposes that could be applied to any specialized domain. The paper first outlines the differences between the terminological database Struna and a lexical database of semantic frames of aviation, AirFrame. Methods applied in analyzing terminological definitions and annotated sentences containing aviation terms are then presented. Conceptual information from the definitions of key aviation concepts in Struna is compared to semantically annotated sentences extracted from the parallel English-Croatian aviation corpus. The corpus compilation and analysis has been done in Sketch Engine, while the annotation is done in the WebAnno tool. Two approaches to semantic role labelling are discussed. The first approach does not have roles specific to one class, e.g. LIRICS (Petukhova & Bunt, 2008) and VerbNet (Kipper et al., 2008) with hierarchically organized semantic roles. The second approach, developed within FrameNet has more than 2000 frame elements or semantic roles that are verb-specific and frame-specific. Advantages of each approach are discussed, and the semantic tagset applied in the analysis is elaborated. The benefits of using semantic role labeling in terminological resources are finally discussed.

The article describes and compares semantic roles in general language and terminological internet resources and proposes a model of semantic roles used in the AirFrame database, in which aviation terminology is defined in semantic frames. After critically examining different sets of semantic roles, the structure of the AirFrame database is described as well as its similarities and differences in relation to FrameNet, which it follows methodologically. The aim of the paper is to determine the most acceptable model for defining semantic roles in the first Croatian specialized database of semantic frames based on existing semantic role sets, which can serve as a model for linking general language and specialized lexical resources.
