The paper focuses on the issues of establishing semantic content of syntactic structures via the contrastive study of the English and Russian language systems and parallel texts analysis for the tasks of machine translation. Particular attention is given to consideration of syntactic polysemy and ambiguity, and the mechanisms of polysemous structures presentation are proposed. The decisions are...

Polysemy is the capacity for a term to have multiple meanings. Polysemy prediction is a first step for Word Sense Induction (WSI), which allows to find different meanings for a term, as well as for Information Extraction (IE) systems. In addition, the polysemy detection is important for building and enriching terminologies and ontologies. In this paper, we present a novel approach to detect if ...

This paper introduces a test-pattern named a dense component for checking inconsistencies in the hierarchical structure of a wordnet. Dense component (viewed as substructure) points out the cases of regular polysemy in the context of multiple inheritance. Definition of the regular polysemy is redefined – instead of lexical units there are used lexical concepts (synsets). All dense components ar...

This paper describes an attempt to gain more insight into the mechanisms that underlie lexicalised systematic polysemy. This phenomenon is interpreted as systematic sense combinations that are valid for more than one word. The hierarchical structure of WordNet is exploited to create a working definition of systematic polysemy and extract polysemic patterns at a level of generalisation that allo...

Polysemy is an essential linguistic process that occurs intensively in language. It plays a significant role creating phraseological combinations and generating various semantic changes the should be distinguished from eurysemy (lexical broadness) homonymy. eurythmy language speech reveal some common properties; however, they are essentially different phenomena. In Eurysemy, word's meaning real...
