In this article we intend to offer the results of comparing and matching basic and terminal
concepts (and their corresponding lexical units) in FunGramKB with Words (and their corresponding
synonyms) in the ASD-STE dictionary and determine whether the way in which
this controlled language has been designed draws similarities with the way in which the
conceptual information of that knowledge base is built. To provide evidence based on authentic
material, we have selected the list of 190 approved verbs in the ASD-STE dictionary: a
collection of units complying with the ASD-STE lexical and syntactic restrictions. These verbs
are used as a representative sample to be compared with 547 verbal concepts stored in the
FunGramKB #EVENT subontology (as basic or terminal concepts). The level of compatibility
between both repositories offers four possibilities of conceptual and/or lexical matching
at varying degrees: i) direct matching, ii) indirect matching, iii) no matching, or iv) missing.
The quantitative results of this analysis may prove that a significant percentage of verbal
Words in the ASD-STE dictionary (more than 50%) are directly or indirectly represented in
FunGramKB, either as concepts or as lexical units associated with other concepts.
