Lexicon, Ontology, and Text Meaning
نویسندگان
چکیده
A computationally relevant theory of lexical semantics must take into consideration both the form and the content of three different static knowledge sources -the lexicon, the ontological domain model and a text meaning representation language. Meanings of lexical units axe interpreted in terms of their mappings into the ontology and/or their contributions to the text meaning representation. We briefly describe one such theory. Its precepts have been used in mONYSUS, a machine translation system prototype.

A Lexicon for Knowledge-Based MT
In knowledge-based machine translation (KBMT), the lexicon can be specified and acquired only in close connection with the specification and acquisition of the world model (ontology) and the specification of the text meaning representation (interlingua) language. The former supplies the atoms for the specification of text meaning and provides world knowledge to support the inference processes n...
متن کاملA Stylistic Analysis of Lexicon in Ray Bradbury’s The Martian Chronicles
Ray Bradbury’s The Martian Chronicles is a futuristic, science fiction novel that chronicles the colonization of Mars by humans, projecting the United States’ colonial and immigrant past on to a symbolic future. Bradbury’s use of language is mostly picturesque and sensory. The present paper applies a text-oriented analysis of stylistic elements that construct meaning in the text and evoke the n...
متن کاملThree Experiments on Mining the Web for Ontology and Lexicon Learning
This paper describes an approach to alleviating the well-known problem of the knowledge acquisition bottleneck in knowledgebased systems. In knowledge-based, meaning-oriented natural language processing, the core knowledge resources are a semantic lexicon and an ontological world model in terms of which lexical meaning is expressed. We describe a mutual bootstrapping approach whereby existing r...
متن کاملUsing a Natural Language Understanding System to Generate Semantic Web Content
We describe our research on automatically generating rich semantic annotations of text and making it available on the Semantic Web. In particular, we discuss the challenges involved in adapting the OntoSem natural language processing system for this purpose. OntoSem, an implementation of the theory of ontological semantics under continuous development for over 15 years, uses a specially constru...
متن کاملPractical World Modeling for NLP Applications
Practical NLP applications requiring semantic and pragmatic analysis of texts necessitate the construction of a world model, an ontology, to support interpretation of text elements. Constraints on world model elements serve as heuristics on the cooccurrence of lexical and other meanings in the text, facilitating both natural language understanding and generation. Propositional meanings (defined...
