This paper proposes a methodology to detect the semantic dimensions along which members of a semantic eld are distinguished. The notion of semantic elds, while often assumed, has not to date been explicitly exploited in lexicography nor computational lexical semantics. Exploring the semantic eld of reporting verbs in detail, we suggest that a principled treatment of semantic dimensions leads to...

This paper describes the stages involved in implementing a corpus of spoken Irish. This pilot project (consisting of approximately 140K words of transcribed data) implements part of the design of a larger corpus of spoken Irish which it is hoped will contain approximately 2 million words when complete. It hoped that such a corpus will provide material for linguistic research, lexicography, the ...

The emergence of new information media has had an impact on the working methods of lexicography and terminology as well as in the products obtained. Among the new media, knowledge bases are a valuable source that allows for information to be tailored to the needs of different users. We present several ways of codifying lexical and phraseological information in order to build a knowledge base on...

We develop a data set of Malay lexemes labelled with count classifiers, that are attested in raw or lemmatised corpora. A maximum entropy classifier based on simple, languageinspecific features generated from context tokens achieves about 50% F-score, or about 65% precision when a suite of binary classifiers is built to aid multi-class prediction of headword nouns. Surprisingly, numeric feature...

Innovative Access Structures in Mobile Dictionaries. The access structure of any dictionary is an important one. It provides the user with a means to obtain required data or extract valuable information. This mostly overlaps other structures such as macro-, micro- and mediostructure, which turn creates different routes can follow try satisfy his her lexicographic needs. In printed dictionaries,...

We introduce a model for voting under uncertainty where a group of voters have to decide on a joint action to take, but the individual voters are uncertain about the current state of the world and thus about the effect that the chosen action would have. Each voter has preferences about what state they would like to see reached once the action has been executed. That is, we need to integrate two...
