Abstract

We exploit and extend the Generative Lexicon Theory to develop a formal description of adnominal constituents in a lexicon which can deal with linguistic phenomena found in Japanese adnominal constituents. We classify the problematic behavior into "static disambiguation" and "dynamic disambiguation" tasks. Static disambiguation can be done using lexical information in a dictionary, whereas dynamic disambiguation requires inferences at the knowledge representation level.

We have constructed the IPA Lexicon of Basic Japanese Nouns (IPAL-BN), which has a hierarchical structure based on the syntactic and semantic properties of nouns. In our lexicon, each lexical entry consists of subentries, and subentries have semantic ...
Using frames to disambiguate prepositions

In natural language processing (NLP), disambiguation is the procedure used to solve name conflicts of polysemic concepts (different meanings); in fact, phrase disambiguation is a problem not totally solved in NLP. Several disambiguation types exist; for ...

We propose a method of acquiring knowledge about the possibility of deletion of adnominal verb phrases from a corpus. Our method acquires such items as the frequency of modification of the noun by adnominal verb phrases and the variety of adnominal verb ...
