Word sense disambiguation (WSD) plays an important role in many areas of natural language processing, such as machine translation, information retrieval, sentence analysis, and speech recognition. Research on WSD has great theoretical and practical significance. The main purposes of this study were to study the kind of knowledge that is useful for WSD, and to establish a new WSD model based on ...

The paper surveys available grammatical descriptions of Czech causal expressions and their explanation in textbooks for foreigners provides a detailed description variant expressions, focusing on meaning, frequency, syntagmatic properties, taking advantage onomasiologically (semantically) oriented corpus research. analysis L2 above the threshold levels (B2 C1) has revealed that is far from sati...

Syntagmatic fixedness is an important feature of multi-word expressions (MWE). However, syntagmatic fixedness is gradual and various semantic and syntactic relations hold among the parts of MWEs. This poses intriguing problems for lexicography, linguistic description and language processing. In this paper we propose a computationally inexpensive and intuitive approach to the measurement of synt...

In this paper, we address the issue of syntagmatic expressions from a computational lexical semantic perspective. From a representational viewpoint, we argue for a hybrid approach combining linguistic and conceptual paradigms, in order to account for the continuum we find in natural languages from free combining words to frozen expressions. In particular, we focus on the place of lexical and se...

A two-tier model for the description of morphological, syntactic and semantic variations of multi-word terms is presented. It is applied to term normalization of French and English corpora in the medical and agricultural domains. Five different sources of morphological and semantic knowledge are exploited (MULTEXT, CELEX, AGROVOC, WordNetl.6, and Microsoft Word97 thesaurus). 1 I n t r o d u c t...

In this position paper we present the research on verb predicates that we have carried out until now for Catalan, Spanish, and Basque, and we outline the framework of our future research, which is based on the idea that it is necessary to include syntagmatic and statistic information in lexical resources, such as WordNet, in order to use it in tasks of information extraction from annotated corp...

Building on psychologists' observations that individuals with Social Anxiety Disorder (SAD) speak slower and more quietly, this study examines to what extent the characteristics of hesitation disfluencies and silent pauses distinguish between SAD and control participants. Participants responded verbally to six identical questions, and their responses were recorded and analyzed. Our first observ...
