Abstract
One of the main challenges for computational lexical semantics is to bridge the gap between on the one hand theoretical research on the organization of the lexicon and on the formal representation of word meaning, and on the other hand the increasing request by natural language processing systems of accessing large repositories of lexical knowledge. Starting from some recent extensions of Generative Lexicon theory, we present a general model for the development of a set of large-scale lexical resources developed in the context of the SIMPLE project. SIMPLE is an innovative attempt to build harmonized syntactic-semantic lexicons for twelve European languages, aimed at use in different Human Language Technology applications. SIMPLE provides a general design model for the encoding of a large amount of semantic information, spanning from ontological typing, to argument structure and terminology.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
