This paper will focus on the semantic representation of verbs in computer systems and its
impact on lexical selection problems in machine translation (MT). Two groups of English and …

In this paper we introduce a declarative approach to inflectional morphology, which we call
Network Morphology, using the lexical representation language DATR. We show that we …

There are two major levels of processing that are significant in the use of a computational
semantic framework: semantic composition for the construction of meanings; and inference …

The book will appeal to scholars and advanced students of morphology, syntax,
computational linguistics and natural language processing (NLP). It provides a critical and …

This book introduces the reader to the changing notions of the lexicon and dictionary-
making, using a convergence of perspectives from computational linguistics, corpus …

Much recent research on the design of natural language lexicons has made use of
nonmonotonic inheritance networks as originally developed for general knowledge …

In an earlier paper we introduced Network Morphology, an approach to inflectional
morphology which relies heavily on the notion of default inheritance (Corbett & Fraser 1993) …

In this introduction to the special issues, we begin by outlining a concrete example that
indicates some of the motivations leading to the widespread use of inheritance networks in …

Inheritance is an inference mechanism originally defined for semantic network formalisms. It
allows redundancy to be removed from the description of a domain by factoring out reusable …

DATR is a declarative language for representing a restricted class of inheritance networks,
permitting both multiple and default inheritance. The principal intended area of application is …
