Generative Lexicon Theory and Linguistic Linked Open Data
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we look at how Generative Lexicon theory can assist in providing a more thorough definition of word senses as links between items in a RDF-based lexicon and concepts in an ontology. We focus on the definition of lexical sense in lemon and show its limitations before defining a new model based on lemon and which we term lemonGL. This new model is an initial attempt at providing a way of structuring lexico-ontological resources as linked data in such a way as to allow a rich representation of word meaning (following the GL theory) while at the same time (attempting to) re-main faithful to the separation between the lexicon and the ontology as recommended by the lemon model.

German Word Formation and Aphasia*
The goal of this investigation is to show how neuropsychological dissociations in aphasic language disorders can be explained with reference to explicit linguistic theories and how aphasiological data can help to find an optimal linguistic theory supposing, of course, that linguistic theory considers itself part of the study of cognition. Our topic is the interplay of lexical and nonlexical kno...
متن کاملThe Algebra of Lexical Semantics
The current generative theory of the lexicon relies primarily on tools from formal language theory and mathematical logic. Here we describe how a different formal apparatus, taken from algebra and automata theory, resolves many of the known problems with the generative lexicon. We develop a finite state theory of word meaning based on machines in the sense of Eilenberg [11], a formalism capable...

We introduce lemonUby, a new lexical resource integrated in the Semantic Web which is the result of converting data extracted from the existing large-scale linked lexical resource UBY to the lemon lexicon model. The following data from UBY were converted: WordNet, FrameNet, VerbNet, English and German Wiktionary, the English and German entries of OmegaWiki, as well as links between pairs of the...
متن کاملAutomatic Acquisition of GL Resources, Using an Explanatory, Symbolic Technique
The Generative Lexicon (GL) theory (Pustejovsky 1995) has proved its usefulness in the analysis of numerous linguistic phenomena across languages. Moreover, elements from Generative Lexicons have been shown to be relevant in several natural language processing (NLP) applications (e.g. information retrieval, etc.). For instance, the qualia structure gives access to relational information, crucia...
متن کاملIntroduction to Generative Lexicon
Generative Lexicon is a theory of linguistic semantics which focuses on the distributed nature of compositionality in natural language. Unlike purely verb-based approaches to compositionality, Generative Lexicon (henceforth, GL) attempts to spread the semantic load across all constituents of the utterance. Central to the philosophical perspective of GL are two major lines of inquiry: (1) How is...
