Wordnets are rich lexico-semantic resources. Linked wordnets are extensions of wordnets, which link similar concepts in wordnets of different languages. Such resources are extremely useful in many Natural Language Processing (NLP) applications, primarily those based on knowledge-based approaches. In such approaches, these resources are considered as gold standard/oracle. Thus, it is crucial tha...

Tourism is one of the most important specialized domains in Spain. For this reason, many linguistic studies related to tourism texts have been carried out last few years. In work, we focus on three frequent and difficult textual genres written Spanish domain: informative article, travel blog post, rules regulations (for tourist accommodation facilities). The goals research are two: a) carry a a...

This paper describes work in progress to use clustering to create a lexicon of words that engage in the lexico-semantic relationship known as grading. While other resources like thesauri and taxonomies exist detailing relationships such as synonymy, antonymy, and hyponymy, we do not know of any thorough resource for grading. This work focuses on identifying the words that may participate in thi...

Named Entity Recognition task needs high-quality and large-scale resources. In this paper, we present RENCO, a based-rules system focused on the recognition of entities in the Cosmetic domain (brandnames, product names, ...). RENCO has two main objectives: 1) Generating resources for named entity recognition; 2) Mining new named entities relying on the previous generated resources. In order to ...

We present a chain of tools used by grammarians and computer scientists to develop grammatical and lexical resources from linguistic knowledge, for various natural languages. The developed resources are intended to be used in Natural Language Processing (NLP) systems.

With the largest number of English learners in world, influence language teaching (ELT) reform China cannot be underestimated. This article explores implications actual use China’s workplace for ELT context as a lingua franca (ELF).

In the field of English for Specific Purposes (ESP), as in any other type interlanguage, phraseology contributes significantly to successful academic writing (Biber and Barbieri 2007). For particular learner varieties, such Romanian English, few studies have examined formulaic sequences (Hyland 2008), mainly focusing on lexico-grammatical patterns (Chitez 2012, 2014). The proposed paper investi...

This paper describes a novel approach for handling translation divergences in a Generation-Heavy Hybrid Machine Translation (GHMT) system. The approach depends on the existence of rich target language resources such as word lexical semantics, including information about categorial variations and subcate-gorization frames. These resources are used to generate multiple structural variations from ...

Semantic lexicons and lexical ontologies are some major resources in natural language processing. Developing such resources are time consuming tasks for which some automatic methods are proposed. This paper describes some methods used in semi-automatic development of FarsNet; a lexical ontology for the Persian language. FarsNet includes the Persian WordNet with more than 10000 synsets of nouns,...
