A lexicogrammatical perspective in encoding dictionaries ―with reference to ‘pain’ examples in English and in Japanese

This paper addresses a problem in the current encoding bilingual dictionary models, and argues for the necessity of having a lexicogrammatical perspective in such dictionaries, by discussing a pair of equivalents in English and in Japanese. Because existing encoding dictionaries base their models on decoding dictionaries, they force users to start from a fixed lexical item. This paper demonstra...

Pattern Encoding on the Poincare Sphere

This paper presents a convenient graphical tool for encoding visual patterns (such as image patches and image atoms) as point constellations in a space spanned by perceptual features and with a clear geometrical interpretation. General theory and a practical pattern encoding scheme are presented, inspired by encoding polarization states of a light wave on the Poincaré sphere. This new pattern e...

Electronic Dictionary Encoding: Customizing the TEI Guidelines

The Text Encoding Initiative (TEI) Guidelines propose an encoding scheme that is applicable to a large variety of dictionaries. This paper takes a widely-used and simple French dictionary (Petit Larousse Illustré) as an example to describe some of the problems that arise when using the TEI Document Type Definition (DTD), particularly from an editorial standpoint, where it is necessary to retain...
