The article presents the idea of a new “Lexicon Media Terms” in Poland, showing important reasons for undertaking such project. preparation “Lexicon” is prompted, on one hand, by dynamic development Polish and global media studies 21st century (its institutionalization many research centers universities, professional scientific periodicals, etc.), other hand certain gap publishing market (the l...

In this paper, we present an approach to lexicon optimization for Chinese language modeling. The method is an iterative procedure consisting of two phases, namely lexicon generation and lexicon pruning. In the first phase, we extract appropriate new words from a very large training corpus using statistical approaches. In the second phase, we prune the lexicon to a preset memory limitation using...

This paper presents the English valency lexicon EngValLex, built within the Functional Generative Description framework. The form of the lexicon, as well as the process of its semi-automatic creation is described. The lexicon describes valency for verbs and also includes links to other lexical sources, namely PropBank. Basic statistics about the lexicon are given. The lexicon will be later used...

Abstract Are the cognitive units in mental lexicon of Bantu speakers words or morphemes? The very small experimental literature addressing this question suggests that answer is morphemes, but a closer look at results shows premature. A novel theory lexicon, Discriminative Lexicon, which incorporates word-based view and computationally implemented Linear Learner (LDL) put to test with data set 1...

The study aims to find out what are lexicons used in the Sampi Gerumbungan dance costumes and its cultural meaning. method this is a descriptive qualitative design. directs researchers obtaining social information accurately, broadly, completely by designing problem formulations. results of found that there were sixteen (16) dance. All also classified based on parts body, namely head (5 lexicon...

One of the challanges for building natural language processing systems is that of reducing the size of the lexicon while still accounting for the polymorphic behavior of language. One instance of verbal polymorphism is the ability of certain predicates (e.g. enjoy, promise , begin, etc.) to surface with diierent complement structures, which requires, under traditional approaches, multiple listi...

In this paper we present a tool for finding appropriate translation equivalents for words from the general lexicon using comparable corpora. For a phrase in the source language the tool suggests a range of possible expressions used in similar contexts in target language corpora. In the paper we discuss the method and present results of human evaluation of the performance of the tool.

We present the design and evaluation of a translator’s amenuensis that uses comparable corpora to propose and rank nonliteral solutions to the translation of expressions from the general lexicon. Using distributional similarity and bilingual dictionaries, the method outperforms established techniques for extracting translation equivalents from parallel corpora. The interface to the system is av...

The general aim of my diploma thesis is to develop a (semi-)automatic method for the acquisition of a German inflectional lexicon from raw texts. In particular, I want to explore whether inflectional stems can be deduced from word-form occurences that fit into known morphological paradigm classes.
