	abstract = {This paper describes an approach to large-scale construction of a semantic hierarchyfor Chinese verbs. Leveraging off of an existing Chinese conceptual databased called
HowNet and a Levin-based Egnlish verb classification, we use thematic-role information
to create links between Chinese concepts and English classes. The resulting hierarchy is
used for multilingual lexicons in an English-Chinese cross-language information retrieval
application. We demonstrate a structured syntax interface that exploits this large-scale
hierarchy and its linages to WordNet for English-Chinese cross-language information re-
trieval.
