Descrizione dell’articolo da parte del venditore

Paperback. This volume of newly commissioned essays examines current theoretical and computational work on polysemy, the term used in semantic analysis to describe words with more than one meaning. Such words present few difficulties in everyday language, but pose central problems for linguists and lexicographers, especially for those involved in lexical semantics and in computational modelling. The contributors to this book -- leading researchers in theoretical andcomputational linguistics -- consider the implications of these problems for linguistic theory and how they may be addressed by computational means.The theoretical essays in the bookexamine polysemy as an aspect of a broader theory of word meaning. Three theoretical approaches are presented: the Classical (or Aristotelian), the Prototypical, and the Relational. Their authors describe the nature of polysemy, the criteria for detecting it, and its manifestations across languages. They examine the issues arising from the regularity of polysemy and the theoretical principles proposed to account for the interaction of lexical meaning with the semantics and syntax of the contextin which it occurs. Finally they consider the formal representations of meaning in the lexicon, and their implications for dictionary construction.The computational essays areconcerned with the challenge of polysemy to automatic sense disambiguation -- how the intended meaning for a word occurrence can be identified. The approaches presented include the exploitation of lexical information in machine-readable dictionaries, machine learning based on patterns of word co-occurrence, and hybrid approaches that combine the two.As a whole the volume shows how on the one hand theoretical work provides the motivation and may suggest the basis forcomputational algorithms, while on the other computational results may validate, or reveal problems in, the principles set forth by theories. Polysemy is a term used to describe a word with multiple meanings. The problem is to establish whether its the same word with related meanings or different words that happen to look or sound the same. The contributors consider the implications of these problems for grammatical theory and how they may be addressed in computational linguistics. This item is printed on demand.
