In this paper we propose an approach for the automatic enrichment of standardized electronic dictionaries by the semantic classes. This approach consists of three phases. The first phase treat the semantic classification process founded on the studies of Gaston Gross. The second phase profites from the existed subject fields in the dictionary's lexical entries in order to attribute the suitable...

Recently the LATL has undertaken the development of a multilingual translation system based on a symbolic parsing technology and on a transfer-based translation model. A crucial component of the system is the lexical database, notably the bilingual dictionaries containing the information for the lexical transfer from one language to another. As the number of necessary bilingual dictionaries is ...

In this paper, we describe and evaluate an unsupervised method for acquiring pairs of lexical entries belonging to the same morphological family, i.e., derivationally related words, starting from a purely inflectional lexicon. Our approach relies on transformation rules that relate lexical entries with the one another, and which are automatically extracted from the inflected lexicon based on su...

Following much work in linguistic theory, it is hypothesized that the language faculty has a modular structure and consists of two basic components, a lexicon of (structured) entries and a computational system of combinatorial operations to form larger linguistic expressions from lexical entries. This target article provides evidence for the dual nature of the language faculty by describing rec...

The PAROLE/SIMPLE 'LexInfo' Ontology and Lexicon are the OWL/RDF version of the PAROLE & SIMPLE lexicons (defined during the PAROLE (LE2-4017) and SIMPLE (LE4-8346) IV FP EU projects) once mapped to LexInfo model. Original PAROLE/SIMPLE lexicons contain morphological, syntactic and semantic information, organized according to a common model and to common linguistic specifications for 12 Europea...

This article presents the linguistic description of Venetian version Tractatus de locis terre sancte, Latin travel chronicle to Holy Land written by Francesco Pipino from Bologna (1270-1330 ca.). The we propose is divided into phonetics and morphology, then followed some general considerations about described features an index with attested lexical onomastic entries.

Lexical information for South African Bantu languages is not readily available in the form of machine-readable lexicons. At present the availability of lexical information is restricted to a variety of paper dictionaries. These dictionaries display considerable diversity in the organisation and representation of data. In order to proceed towards the development of reusable and suitably standard...

Being less resource languages, Indian-Indian and English-Indian language MT system developments faces the difficulty to translate various lexical phenomena. In this paper, we present our work on a comparative study of 440 phrase-based statistical trained models for 110 language pairs across 11 Indian languages. We have developed 110 baseline Statistical Machine Translation systems. Then we have...

A computational vehicle for lexicography was designed to keep to the constraints of meaningtext theory: sets of lexical correlates, limits on the form of definitions, and argument relations similar to lexical-functional grA--~-r. Relational data bases look like a natural framework for this. But linguists operate with a nonnormalized view. Mappings between semantic actants and grammatical relati...

This paper discusses the relationship between pragmatic contextual information and complex word meaning in the Mandarin Chinese lexicon. It is argued that although pragmatic information serves to enrich semantically underspecified lexical entries, such information has no access to the internal constituents of lexical items once they have entered the lexicon of the hearer. Using two types of Man...
