<span>This work reports on ongoing research aimed at modeling a metonymic relationship in the FrameNet <span>Brasil database. This paper is based on a case study with the <span>Teams <span>frame. Both the frame and the <span>corpus consulted are part of a frame-based trilingual (Portuguese – Spanish – English) electronic <span>dictionary covering the soccer, tourism and World Cup domains developed by FrameNet Brasil. The<br /><span>basic infrastructure, analytical categories and methodology used were those developed for FrameNet <span>(Fillmore et al. 2003, Baker et al. 2003, Ruppenhofer et al. 2010), which can be defined as an<br /><span>application of Frame Semantics to practical lexicography.</span></span></span></span></span></span><br /></span></span></span>
