Acquiring semantics from structured corpora to enrich an existing lexicon
Résumé
Lexical and semantic information is capital in linguistic resources, be it for language learning purposes or for NLP applications. However, this kind of information is very difficult to collect either manually or automatically. The difficulties come from the nature of the information (what do we mean by 'semantics'? how is the 'meaning' put into words?) and from the resources themselves (how are the 'semantics' formalised and displayed?). In this paper we present a methodology to automatically acquire semantics from structured corpora (machine-readable dictionaries and free encyclopaedias on the web). This information is used to enrich an existing lexical database for constructional families of words in modern French.
