Semi-Productive Polysemy and Sense Extension

The Organization Of The Lexicon: The Polysemy Of Grow And Disambiguation

This paper demonstrates that the polysemy of the verb grow is a result of natural extension of individual meanings connoted by its basic literal meaning and that the polysemy of grow, as such, can be disambiguated by applying simple rules of elimination to the argument structures, which are the contexts that make particular senses viable.

Using Ontologies to Model Polysemy in Lexical Resources

In this article we look at how the use of ontologies can assist in analysing polysemy in natural languages. We develop a model, the Lexical-Sense-Ontology model (LSO), to represent the interaction between a lexicon and ontology, based on lemon. We use the LSO model to show how default rules can be used to represent semi-productivity in polysemy as well as discussing the kinds of ontological inf...

Regular polysemy: from sense vectors to sense patterns

Regular polysemy was extensively investigated in lexical semantics, but this phenomenon has been very little studied in distributional semantics. We propose a model for regular polysemy detection that is based on sense vectors and allows to work directly with senses in semantic vector space. Our method is able to detect polysemous words that have the same regular sense alternation as in a given...
