Current Arabic lexicons, whether computational or otherwise, make no distinction between entries from Modern Standard Arabic (MSA) and Classical Arabic (CA), and tend to include obsolete words that are not attested in current usage. We address this problem by building a large-scale, corpus-based lexical database that is representative of MSA. We use an MSA corpus of 1,089,111,204 words, a pre-a...

In this paper we outline a lexical organization for Turkish that makes use of lexical rules for innections, semantically predictable derivations, and lexical category changes to control the proliferation of lexical entries. Lexical rules handle changes in grammatical roles, enforce type constraints, and control the mapping of subcategorization frames in valency-changing operations. A lexical in...

Матеріялы до руского словаря – the Ukrainian-Polish manuscript dictionary by Josyf Skomorovski consists of 5 volumes and 1732 pages. It was probably completed in 1849. The register Ukrainian has 27000 entries. In part, there is a lot phonetic lexical polonisms as well dialectical items. Some entries were not translated especially 4th volume. words presented two orthographical variants Skomorows...

Bilingual machine-readable dictionaries are knowledge resources useful in many automatic tasks. However, compared to monolingual computational lexicons like WordNet, bilingual dictionaries typically provide a lower amount of structured information such as lexical and semantic relations, and often do not cover the entire range of possible translations for a word of interest. In this paper we pre...

This paper describes the sixteen Duluth entries in the Senseval-2 comparative exercise among word sense disambiguation systems. There were eight pairs of Duluth systems entered in the Spanish and English lexical sample tasks. These are all based on standard machine learning algorithms that induce classifiers from sense-tagged training text where the context in which ambiguous words occur are re...

the purpose of this study was to investigate the mental representation of cognate and noncognate translation pairs in languages with different scripts to test the prediction of dual lexicon model (gollan, forster, & frost, 1997). two groups of persian-speaking english language learners were tested on cognate and noncognate translation pairs in persian-english and english-persian directions ...

The extraction of lexical information for machine readable lexica from multilevel annotations is addressed in this paper. Relations between these levels of annotation are used for subclassification of lexical entries. A method for relating annotation units is presented, based on a temporal calculus. Relating the annotation units manually is error-prone, time consuming and tends to be inconsiste...

Given a spatial expression, or its computational semantic form, how is the expression’s spatial semantics to be allocated lexically, i.e., among entries in the lexicon? In interlingua-based machine translation (MT) research, lexical allocation is the problem of allocating or subdividing a linguistic expression’s full interlingual (IL) structure into the substructures that are lexical IL forms, ...

We develop an open-source large-scale finitestate morphological processing toolkit (AraComLex) for Modern Standard Arabic (MSA) distributed under the GPLv3 license.1 The morphological transducer is based on a lexical database specifically constructed for this purpose. In contrast to previous resources, the database is tuned to MSA, eliminating lexical entries no longer attested in contemporary ...
