PREDICATIVE FORMS IN NATURAL LANGUAGE AND IN LEXICAL KNOWLEDGE BASES
edited by
Patrick Saint-Dizier
IRIT-CNRS, Toulouse, France
This book presents, by means of a number of articles, a survey and a set of
projects in computational lexical semantics. The most crucial aspects of
ongoing research on predicates are presented: verb semantic
classifications, relations between syntax and semantics, Wordnet for Verbs,
multilinguism, lexical knowledge bases and lexical acquisition, the
generative lexicon.=20
Predicative Forms in Natural Language and in Lexical Knowledge Bases is
designed for professors, researchers and graduate students in the area of
language processing and semantics.
