A Method of Adding New Entries to a Valency Dictionary by Exploiting Existing Lexical Resources

Information on subcategorization and selectional restrictions in a valency dictionary is very important for natural language processing in tasks such as monolingual parsing, accurate rule-based machine translation and automatic summarization. However, adding this detailed information is both time consuming and costly. In this paper we present a method of assigning valency information and select...

Low Cost Automated Conceptual Vector Generation from Mono and Bilingual Ressources

This paper assess the possibilities of constructing a multilingual lexicon by propagating conceptual vectors through several monolingual and bilingual resources. The system is based on a vector model in order to learn meanings to potentially select and classify meanings. Bilingual resources ensure the possibility to project vectors on the target lexicon and semantic space.

Construction of a Bilingual Dictionary Intermediated by a Third Language

When using a third language to construct a bilingual dictionary, it is necessary to discriminate equivalencies from inappropriate words derived as a result of ambiguity in the third language. We propose a method to treat this by utilizing the structures of dictionaries to measure the nearness of the meanings of words. The resulting dictionary is a word-to-word bilingual dictionary of nouns and ...

Limits on Monolingualism? A Comparison of Monolingual and Bilingual Infants’ Abilities to Integrate Lexical Tone in Novel Word Learning

To construct their first lexicon, infants must determine the relationship between native phonological variation and the meanings of words. This process is arguably more complex for bilingual learners who are often confronted with phonological conflict: phonological variation that is lexically relevant in one language may be lexically irrelevant in the other. In a series of four experiments, the...
