• Resumen

  • This article engages with the population process of terminal concepts in the nuclear ontology of FunGramKB. The methodology employed is based on the COHERENT procedure. Our aim is to work on the subontology of #EVENTS by inserting some of the English and Spanish verbs of complain that have not been created yet. Although the basic concept +COMPLAIN_00 is lexicalized by units some units, lexical items such as boast, brag, object, reclamar, and clamar have not been included. These will be subordinates of +SAY_00 and described in COREL language. It is our purpose in this investigation to develop the terminal concepts of $BOAST_00, $DISAGRE_00, $OPPOSE_00, and $DISAPPROVE_00, which will complete the subdomain of complain verbs in these languages.
