Based on the analysis of dictionaries, an attempt is made to lexicographically describe one-word lexemes with inexpressible semantics and pragmatic stylistic semantic features.

In defining since middle XX century, there has been expansion definitions semantics, intersection extremely high concentration quality. ...

Bilingual dictionaries provide meaning associations between the words of two languages, those of an ideal bilingual speaker. Learners can use these associations to look up foreign equivalents of known native words, but are forced to use script-based lookup methods when faced with unknown foreign words. This paper presents the Pinyomi Chinese-Japanese dictionary interface, which uses a novel met...

Meaningful sentences are composed of meaningful words; any system that hopes to process natural languages as people do must have information about words, their meaning and relative words in another language. This information is traditionally provided through electronic dictionaries. But these dictionary entries evolved for the convenience of human readers, not for machines. So, machine readable...

Any system that hopes to process natural languages as people do must have information about words, their meaning, concept, relative words in another language and meaningful sentences are composed of meaningful words. Traditionally information is provided through electronic dictionaries. But these dictionary entries evolved for the convenience of human readers, not for machines. So, machine read...

In this work we propose the application of symbolic methods for extraction of semantic valences of the verbs describing them under the Government Pattern concept of the Meaning ⇔ Text Theory. The method is based on the automatic processing of the definitions of verbs used in Explanatory Dictionaries and the analysis of semantic relationships, as inclusion and synonymy, given among them. We beli...

The errors usually made by authors during text preparation are classified. The notion of semantic errors is elaborated, and malapropisms are pointed among them as “similar” to the intended word but essentially distorting the meaning of the text. For whatever method of malapropism correction, we propose to beforehand compile dictionaries of paronyms, i.e. of words similar to each other in letter...

Electronic dictionaries offer many possibilities unavailable in paper dictionaries to view, display or access information. However, even these resources fall short when it comes to access words sharing semantic features and certain aspects of form: few applications offer the possibility to access a word via a morphologically or semantically related word. In this paper, we present such an applic...
