COMPUTATIONAL LEXICOGRAPHYAND LEXICOLOGY AProposed Standard for the Lexical Representation of Idioms

چکیده
this paper I first explain briefly the properties ofone type ofMuIti-Word Expression (MWE), viz., flexible idioms, and how they are dealt with in the Rosetta machine translation system. Taking this as a starting point and generalizing beyond it, I argue that a standardized lexical representation for flexible idioms is not so straightforward. Nevertheless, I make a very concrete proposal for an actual standard for flexible idioms that is highly theory-neutral, and I show how it allows one to achieve a significant reduction of effort in reusing lexical entries for idioms.

متن کاملEtymology, Contextual Pragmatic Clues, and Lexical Knowledge in L2 Idioms Learning
To investigate the effects of etymological elaboration, contextual pragmatic clues, and lexical knowledge on L2 idioms comprehension and production, 60 male intermediate level EFL students in three groups were selected. Each group was randomly assigned to one treatment condition. Group one participants were presented with the etymological explanation of idioms. In group two, the same idioms wer...
متن کاملMemory-Based Lexical Acquisition and Processing
Current approaches to computational lexicology in language technology are knowledge-based (competence-oriented) and try to abstract away from specific formalisms, domains, and applications. This results in severe complexity, acquisition and reusability bottlenecks. As an alternative, we propose a particular performance-oriented approach to Natural Language Processing based on automatic memory-b...
متن کاملReusable Lexical Representations for Idioms
In this paper I introduce (1) a technically simple and highly theory-independent way for lexically representing flexible idiomatic expressions, and (2) a procedure to incorporate these lexical representations in a wide variety of NLP systems. The method is based on Structural EQuivalence Classes for Idioms and therefore called the SEQCI method. I illustrate the approach using the Rosetta MT sys...
متن کاملMachine-Readable Dictionaries
The papers in this panel consider machine-readable dictionaries from several perspectives: research in computational linguistics and computational lexicology, the development of tools for improving accessibility, the design of lexical reference systems for educational purposes, and applications of machine-readable dictionaries in information science contexts. As background and by way of introdu...
