Construction of a Bilingual Dictionary Intermediated by a Third Language
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 can be used to re ne the entries and equivalencies in published bilingual dictionaries.

A novel method is proposed for measuring contextual similarity by “weighted overlapping ratio (WOR)” to construct a bilingual dictionary of a new language pair from two bilingual dictionaries sharing one language. The WOR alleviates the effect of a noisy seed dictionary resulting from merger of two bilingual dictionaries via a third language. Combined use of two word-association measures for ex...
متن کاملAutomatic Construction of Persian ICT WordNet using Princeton WordNet
WordNet is a large lexical database of English language, in which, nouns, verbs, adjectives, and adverbs are grouped into sets of cognitive synonyms (synsets). Each synset expresses a distinct concept. Synsets are interlinked by both semantic and lexical relations.
