In this paper, we show that the Lexical Functions (LFs) of the Explanatory Combinatorial Dictionary are well suited for addressing some lexical questions in text generation like collocations and textual phenomena. We first describe LFs and divide them into two subsets: paradigmatic LFs and syntagmatic LFs. In particular, we see how paradigmatic LFs can be used for coreferential relations and de...

An unsupervised methodology for Word Sense Disambiguation, called Dynamic Domain Sense Tagging, is presented. It relies on the convergence of two very well known unsupervised approaches (i.e. Domain Driven Disambiguation and Conceptual Density). For each target word a domain is dynamically modeled by expanding the its topical context, i.e. a set of words evoking the underlying/implict domain wh...

This study explores the effects of informational redundancy, as carried by a word's morphological paradigmatic structure, on acoustic duration in read aloud speech. The hypothesis that the more predictable a linguistic unit is, the less salient its realization, was tested on the basis of the acoustic duration of interfixes in Dutch compounds in two datasets: One for the interfix -s- (1155 token...

PURPOSE This study examined lexical-semantic organization of bilingual children in their 2 languages and in relation to monolingual age-mates. METHOD Twelve Mandarin-English bilingual and 12 English monolingual children generated 3 associations to each of 36 words. Responses were coded as paradigmatic (dog-cat) or syntagmatic (dog-bark). RESULTS Within the bilingual group, word association ...
