In this paper, an automatic method for Persian WordNet construction based on Prenceton WordNet 2.1 (PWN) is introduced. The proposed approach uses Persian and English corpora as well as a bilingual dictionary in order to make a mapping between PWN synsets and Persian words. Our method calculates a score for each candidate synset of a given Persian word and for each of its translation, it select...

So far there is no unified treatment of interjections with respect to both their cognitive or emotional content and to their discourse functions. Furthermore, the various contributions interjections can make to automatic speech processing systems have not been exploited at all. An approach to the description of interjections on the basis of general constructions will be presented which accounts...

In this paper, some of the common problems faced experimentally in developing a corpus for Persian are discussed. The sources of the problems are the Persian scrip...

Review of Annette Klosa-Kückelhaus and Ilan Kernerman (Eds.). Lexicography Corona­virus-related Neologisms.

SABLE is a Scalable Architecture for Bilingual LExicography. It is designed to produce clean broad-coverage translation lexicons from raw, unaligned parallel texts. Its black-box functionality makes it suitable for naive users. The architecture has been implemented for different language pairs, and has been tested on very large and noisy input. SABLE does not rely on language-specific resources...

In this short paper, we document the current state of work consisting in mapping various lexicographic resources onto the OntoLex model, which is an OWL and RDF(s) based representation format. This model has been designed in the context of a W3C Community Group effort for supporting the publication of linguistic data in the Linked (Open) Data cloud. The deployment of OntoLex is currently being ...
