One Lexicon, Two Structures: So What Gives?

چکیده
We present a reinterpretation of lexical information embedded in the English WordNet in an alternate type of structure called lexical system. First, we characterize lexical systems as graphs of lexical units (word senses) connected mainly by Meaning-Text lexical function relations, then introduce a hand-built lexical system: the French Lexical Network or frLN, a lexical resource that implements a new lexicography of virtual dictionaries. We later explain how a corresponding en-LN has been generated from the English WordNet. Finally, we propose a topological contrastive analysis of the two graphs showing that both structures can be characterized as being Hierarchical Small World Networks.

This paper gives a contrastive analysis of function verbs in English and Japanese, cut and kiru in the framework of the Generative Lexicon (Pustejovsky 1995).

متن کاملA minimalist view of the syntax-lexical semantics interface
This paper presents a restrictive theory of the interface between the lexicon and the syntax. I assume that only a limited amount of lexical information is available at the interface, and, following Borer (1994), that semantic (aspectual) interpretation is assigned at specifiers of aspectual projections, rather than within the VP. Thus, the concept of "Mapping" from lexicon to syntax or the "Li...
