Thus, the investigation of verb classes leads to important insights into the syntax-semantics interface. In this perspective, starting from Levin’s (1993) foundational work for English, many authors have developed analyses for the syntactic-semantic classification of verbs in different languages. The aim of this paper is to provide an overview of such studies, focusing on those that constitute online open access resources for the syntactic-semantic classification of verbs: VerbNet for English, BVI for Basque, AnCoraVerb for Spanish and Catalan, VerboWeb for Brazilian Portuguese, CROVALLEX for Croatian, and VALLEX for Czech. Thus, this paper reviews the general theoretical assumptions on verb classification shared by all the works presented, and shows the specific characteristics of each one, considering the body of data, the specific theoretical perspective, analyses and methodology, and the search engines they provide. Finally, it offers a comparative analysis of two specific verb classes (namely, image creation verbs and verbs of creation and transformation), drawing on data from the studies mentioned above. Although these resources assume a specific lexical-semantic approach for verb classification, they provide valuable data and analyses that can be useful for research in different theoretical perspectives. 2022 artículo científico 1983-3652 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=577170677029 https://www.redalyc.org/journal/5771/577170677029/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/5771/577170677029/html/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/5771/577170677029/577170677029.epub https://www.redalyc.org/journal/5771/577170677029/movil 10.35699/1983-3652.2022.38715 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=5771 Texto Livre: Linguagem e Tecnologia application/pdf Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais Texto Livre: Linguagem e Tecnologia (Brasil) Vol.15
