Implementing WordNet for Swedish Adjectives
نویسندگان
چکیده
Introduction A Swedish version of WordNet was created and around 300 Swedish adjectives, mainly from the semantic field of strength, were implemented. This paper is a documentation of the implementation. The purpose of the study was to investigate the possibilities of applying WordNet to Swedish and to illuminate general problems with WordNet as well as specific problems in the handling of adjectives. First, a short overview of WordNet is given, and then the WordNet categorisation of adjectives is reviewed. The section about the implementation gives hands-on knowledge of how to add a new adjectival lexical entry in WordNet. Then a description of the problems encountered and some general remarks follow.

Using lexical-semantic patterns, we mine the Web for evidence of the relative strength of adjectives like “large”, “huge” and “...

متن کاملMonolingual and bilingual dictionary approaches to the enrichment of the Spanish WordNet with adjectives
We report on two different approaches to the incorporation of adjectives in Spanish WordNet based on automatic extraction techniques using EuroWordNet and machine-readable dictionaries. We show that a monolingual dictionary approach enables to exploit relations between different parts of speech and enrich the internal structure of the Spanish WordNet, while the methods based on bilingual dictio...
