RÉSUMÉ. Ce travail décrit le processus de classification d’un ensemble d’adjectifs décrivant des traits de personnalité dans la liste des facettes de la taxonomie NEO PI-R, en relation avec le Modèle des Cinq Facteurs (FFM– Five Factor Model). Le processus de classification est fondé sur des mots-la sémantique lexicale exprimée par les couples ‘synset-gloses’ attachés aux motsadjectifs dans la ...

In this contribution, we report on an effort to annotate German data with information relevant to opinion inference. Such information has previously been referred to as effect or couched in terms of eventevaluation functors. We extend the theory and present an extensive scheme that combines both approaches and thus extends the set of inference-relevant predicates. Using these guidelines to anno...

This work tries to enrich the Spanish Wordnet using a Spanish taxonomy as a knowledge source. The Spanish taxonomy is composed by Spanish senses, while Spanish Wordnet is composed by synsets, mostly linked to English WordNet. A set of weighted associations between Spanish words and Wordnet synsets is used for inferring associations between both taxonomies.

WordNet Domains (WND) is a lexical resource where synsets have been semi-automatically annotated with one or more domain labels from a set of 165 hierarchically organized domains. The uses of WND include the power to reduce the polysemy degree of the words, grouping those senses that belong to the same domain. But the semi-automatic method used to develop this resource was far from being perfec...

Synonym groups can serve as resourceful linguistic metadata for information extraction and word sense disambiguation. Nevertheless, the reasons two words can be categorized into a particular synonym group need further study, especially when no explanation is available as to why any two words are synonymous. Lexical resources, such as the Chinese Synonym Forest (or Tongyici Cilin) (Mei et al. 19...

the purpose of this study was twofold: (a) to assess the retention of two word types (synonyms and homonyms) in the short term memory, and (b) to investigate the effect of these word types on word learning by asking learners to learn their persian meanings. a total of 73 iranian language learners studying english translation participated in the study. for the first purpose, 36 freshmen from an ...

A taxonomic review of Copella is presented based on the analysis of the type material of all nominal species and extensive material from South American drainages. Six out of ten nominal species are recognized as valid: Copella arnoldi, C. callolepis, C. compta, C. eigenmanni, C. nattereri, and C. vilmae. Copella carsevennensis is a junior synonym of C. arnoldi, C. nigrofasciata and 'Nannostomus...
