Wordnets are lexico-semantic resources essential in many NLP tasks. Princeton WordNet is the most widely known, and the most influential, among them. Wordnets for languages other than English tend to adopt unquestioningly WordNet’s structure and its net of lexicalised concepts. We discuss a large wordnet constructed independently of WordNet, upon a model with a small yet significant difference....

This paper extends a previous claim that auxiliary selection in the present perfect of monadic verbs reflects a pattern grounded in lexico-aspectual properties of individual verbs though mediated through their syntax. A novel argument in support of this conclusion is made, based on the cross-contextual typology of auxiliaries, showing that the cross-linguistic distribution of auxiliaries in the...

We consider context-free languages equipped with the lexico-graphic ordering. We show that when the lexicographic ordering of a context-free language is scattered, then its Hausdorff rank is less than ω ω. As a corollary of this result we obtain that an ordinal is the order type of a well-ordered context-free language iff it is less than ω ω ω .

The paper illustrates a linguistic knowledge acquisition model making use of data types, innite memory, and an inferential mechanism for inducing new information from known data. The model is compared with standard stochastic methods applied to data tokens, and tested on a task of lexico{semantic classi cation.

The primary objective of this study is to identify the types errors made by Korean college students in an oral proficiency interview relation specific task topics, and examine how these affect their lexico-grammatical scores. Ninety-six two-minute-long audio clips 32 on three different topics were transcribed. Lexico-grammatical then coded for statistical analysis scores estimated using many-fa...

The use of contrastive analysis as a linguistic research method is effective at all language levels, especially lexico-semantic and lexico-phraseological levels. Zoonymic images fixed in the are associated with national cultural stereotypes, value standards, which testifies to individuality figurative thinking speakers language, well differences similarities worldview. article presents linguocu...

The present paper describes procedures to visualise diachronic language changes in academic discourse to support analysis. These changes are reflected in the distribution of different lexico-grammatical features according to register. Findings about register differences are relevant for both linguistic applications (e.g., discourse analysis and translation studies) and NLP tasks (notably automa...

Lexico-semantic knowledge is becoming increasingly important within the area of natural language processing, especially for applications, such as Word Sense Disambiguation, Information Extraction and Question Answering (QA). Although the coverage of handmade resources, such as WordNet (Fellbaum, 1998), in general is impressive, coverage problems still exist for those applications involving spec...
