In this work we present psycholinguistically motivated computational models for the organization and processing of Bangla morphologically complex words in the mental lexicon. Our goal is to identify whether morphologically complex words are stored as a whole or are they organized along the morphological line. For this, we have conducted a series of psycholinguistic experiments to build up hypot...

Since Web 2.0 is the largest container for subjective expressions about different topics or issues expressed in all languages, the study of Sentiment Analysis has grown exponentially. In this work, we focus on Spanish polarity classification of hotel reviews and a new domain-dependent lexical resource (eSOLHotel) is presented. This new lexicon has been compiled following a corpus-based approach...

this study was an attempt to investigate the effect of lexicon-based debates on the felicity of lexical equivalents in translating literary texts by iranian efl learners.  to fulfill the purpose of this study, 59 university students, majoring in english translation, were randomly assigned to the experimental and control groups from a total of 73 students based on their performance on a mock toe...

The goal of this paper is to present a particular type of lexicon, elaborated within a formal theory of natural language called Meaning-Text Theory (MTT). This theory puts strong emphasis on the development of highly structured lexica. Computational linguistics does of course recognize the importance of the lexicon in language processing. However, MTT probably goes further in this direction tha...

We have developed the notion of lexicon density as a metric to measure the expected accuracy of handwritten word recognizers. Thus far, researchers have used the size of the lexicon as a gauge for the difficulty of the handwritten word recognition task. For example, the literature mentions recognizers with accuracy for lexicons of sizes 10, 100, 1000, and so forth, implying that the difficulty ...

Riddles based on simple puns can be classified according to the patterns of word, syllable or phrase similarity they depend upon. We have devised a formal model of the semantic and syntactic regularities underlying some of the simpler types of punning riddle. We have also implemented this preliminary theory in a computer program which can generate riddles from a lexicon containing general data ...

Numerous sentiment analysis applications make usage of a sentiment lexicon. In this paper we present experiments on hybrid sentiment lexicon acquisition. The approach is corpus-based and thus suitable for languages lacking general dictionarybased resources. The approach is a hybrid two-step process that combines semisupervised graph-based algorithms and supervised models. We evaluate the perfor...

opinion mining deals with an analysis of user reviews for extracting their opinions, sentiments and demands in a specific area, which can play an important role in making major decisions in such area. in general, opinion mining extracts user reviews at three levels of document, sentence and feature. opinion mining at the feature level is taken into consideration more than the other two levels d...

LDV FORUM – Band 21(1) – 2006 Abstract Th is paper describes MANAGELEX, a lexicon management tool, developed at Hamburg University, Natural Language Systems Division. After a general introduction on lexicons, the authors present the architecture and functionality of MANAGELEX. Sections 3 and 4 give information on two of the MANAGELEX modules concerning the choice and the structural organization...
