The technical production of this handbook has been a joint effort by several groups involving
a large number of people, and the success of the coordination process in itself is by no …

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

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 …

This thesis is an investigation of the representation of lexical semantic information from a
computational linguistic perspective. An implemented representation language is described …

This paper shows how DATR, a widely used formal language for lexical knowledge
representation, can be used to define an LTAG lexicon as an inheritance hierarchy with …

In this paper we present a means of defining morphonological phenomena in an inheritance
based lexicon. We make use of the theory behind the formal language MOLUSC, in which …

The paper shows how the verbal lexicon can be formalised in a way that captures and
exploits generalisations about the alternation behaviour of verb classes. An alternation is a …

Lexicon acquisition from machine-readable dictionaries and corpora is currently a dynamic
field of research, yet it is often not clear how lexical information so acquired can be used, or …

Evans and Gazdar introduced DATR as a simple, non-monotonic language for representing
natural language lexicons. Although a number of implementations of DATR exist, the full …
