GermaNet - A Lexical-Semantic Net For German
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present the lexical-semantic net for German "GermaNet" which integrates conceptual ontological information with lexical semantics, within and across word classes. It is compatible with the Princeton WordNet but integrates principlebased modifications on the constructional and organizational level as well as on the level of lexical and conceptual relations. GermaNet includes a new treatment of regular polysemy, artificial concepts and of particle verbs. It furthermore encodes cross-classification and basic syntactic information, constituting an interesting tool in exploring the interaction of syntax and semantics. The development of such a large scale resource is particularly important as German up to now lacks basic online tools for the semantic exploration of very large corpora.

Extension and Use of GermaNet, a Lexical-Semantic Database
This paper describes GermaNet, a lexical-semantic network and on-line thesaurus for the German language, and outlines its future extension and use. GermaNet is structured along the same lines as the Princeton WordNet (Miller et al., 1990; Fellbaum, 1998), encoding the major semantic relations like synonymy, hyponymy, meronymy, etc. that hold among lexical items. Constructing semantic networks l...
متن کاملCustomizing GermaNet for the Use in Deep Linguistic Processing
In this paper we show an approach to the customization of GermaNet to the German HPSG grammar lexicon developed in the Verbmobil project. GermaNet has a broad coverage of the German base vocabulary and fine grained semantic classification, while the HPSG grammar lexicon is comparatively small und has a coarse-grained semantic classification. In our approach, we have developed a mapping algorith...
متن کاملAccessing GermaNet Data and Computing Semantic Relatedness
We present an API developed to access GermaNet, a lexical semantic database for German represented in XML. The API provides a set of software functions for parsing and retrieving information from GermaNet. Then, we present a case study which builds upon the GermaNet API and implements an application for computing semantic relatedness according to five different metrics. The package can, again, ...
متن کاملEnriching GermaNet with verb-noun relations - a case study of lexical acquisition
In this paper we will focus on the lexical-semantic relations in the German wordnet GermaNet. It has been shown that wordnets suffer from the relatively small number of relations between their lexical objects. It is assumed that applications in NLP and IR, in particular those relying on word sense disambiguation, can be boosted by a higher relational density of the lexical resource. We report o...
متن کاملTowards a Formal Representation of Components of German Compounds
This paper presents an approach for the formal representation of components in German compounds. We assume that such a formal representation will support the segmentation and analysis of unseen compounds that feature components already seen in other compounds. An extensive language resource that explicitly codes components of compounds is GermaNet, a lexical semantic network for German. We summ...
