Abstract
The grouping of related verbs is a mature problem in linguistics and natural language processing. There have been a number of resources which have grouped together English verbs, for example VerbNet. In comparison Portuguese has fewer resources, some of which have been based upon English verb studies. The manual grouping of Portuguese verbs would be a manually intensive task, consequently this paper presents a strategy for grouping Portuguese verbs. The strategy connects verbs through common arguments and uses overlapping community detection algorithm to identify related verbs.
