Just in time for the World Cup final match on July 9th, Thomas Schmidt, a visiting researcher working on FrameNet, has completed "Kicktionary", a semantically annotated dictionary of soccer terms in German, French, and English. To call it a dictionary, however, is a bit misleading. It's more like a multilingual guide to the game of soccer, which not only defines terms, but defines them relative to other soccer terms, gives sample sentences showing correct usage, and clearly illustrates the situations during a soccer match relating to each term.
