The motivation of the Papillon project is to encourage the development of freely accessible Multilingual Lexical Resources by way of online collaborative work on the Internet. For this, we developed a generic community website originally dedicated to the diffusion and the development of a particular acception based multilingual lexical database. The generic aspect of our platform allows its use...

Early perceptual processing capabilities are likely to contribute to the categorization of lexical vs. grammatical words by newborns. This lexical categorization could be performed by detecting differences in the prosodic structure of these word categories. Here we demonstrate that a Temporal Recurrent Network (TRN) that allows realistic treatment of the dynamic temporal aspect of prosody perfo...

Introduction . At the moment territory of Russian Federation comprises 138 endangered languages, which determines relevance studying influence state’s language policy on development Karelian language. The purpose study is to analyze way contacts influenced Karelian. novelty lies in consideration linguistic interference historical context. Methodology and sources conducted using publications pre...

We present the components of a processing chain for the creation, visualization, and validation of lexical resources (formed of terms and relations between terms). The core of the chain is a component for building lexical networks relying on Harris’ distributional hypothesis applied on the syntactic dependencies produced by the French parser FRMG on large corpora. Another important aspect conce...

This paper describes a computational model of concept acquisition for natural language. We develop a theory of lexical semantics, the Eztended Aspect Calculus, which together with a ~maxkedness theory" for thematic relations, constrains what a possible word meaning can be. This is based on the supposition that predicates from the perceptual domain axe the primitives for more abstract relations....
