    COMLEX, which has subcategorization classes for various words, as well
    as pronunciations, can be used to build a network based on syntactic
    behavior or pronunciation. The ERG lexicon at the Lingo project at
    CSLI also has detailed subcategorization information, although for
    fewer words.

    Beth Levin's work on verb class alternations, is based on the idea of
    using syntactic properties to build a semantic net. Timothy Baldwin
    and myself have done some work on clustering Japanese verbs according
    to their subcategorization patterns, you can find the relevant papers
    on my home-page.

    I hope this is of some help,
