Итальянские конструкции с глаголом поддержки fare в сопоставлении с русским = Computational treatment of support verb constructions in Italian and in Russian

In this paper we aim at comparing some corpora-based computational resources which analyse the collocational profiles of the SVCs in both languages. These resources are: SketchEngine, which works for both languages, Lexit for Italian only and NKRJA for Russian only. The subject of the present case study is the Italian verb mettere followed by a prepositional phrase with the prepositions in and a, and the corresponding Russian verb stavit’/postavit’ followed by a prepositional phrase with the prepositions v e na. In the paper we discuss the options offered by the tools at the syntax-semantic interface. A closer comparison of the three tools shows that they provide different data. We have explored some aspects of the semantic tagging of Lexit and NKRJA and suggested to take advantage of the integration of the these two tools. It seems that further development of semantic tagging could be of great help in creating Italian-Russian lexicographic resources.
