Semantic relations between verbs in Polish WordNet 2.0The noun dominates wordnets. The lexical semantics of verbs is usually under-represented, even if it is essential in any semantic analysis which goes beyond statistical methods. We present our attempt to remedy the imbalance; it begins by designing a sufficiently rich set of wordnet relations for verbs. We discuss and show in detail such a relation set in the largest Polish wordnet. Our design decisions, while as general and language-independent as possible, are mainly informed by our desire to capture the nature and peculiarities of the verb system in Polish.

The LUNA corpus is a multi-lingual, multidomain spoken dialogue corpus currently under development that will be used to develop a robust natural spoken language understanding toolkit for multilingual dialogue services. The LUNA corpus will be annotated at multiple levels to include annotations of syntactic, semantic, and discourse information; specialized annotation tools will be used for the annotation at each of these levels. In order to synchronize these multiple layers of annotation, the PAULA standoff exchange format will be used. In this paper, we present the corpus and its PAULA-based architecture. 1

Semantic relations among nouns in Polish WordNet grounded in lexicographic and semantic traditionThe paper describes a system of lexico-semantic relations proposed for the nominal part of plWordNet 2.0 – the largest Polish wordnet. We briefly introduce a wordnet as a large electronic thesaurus. We discuss sixteen nominal relations together with many sub-types proposed for plWordNet 2.0. Each relation is based on linguistic intuition and supported by a set of tests which facilitate its identification. There are two main groups: pure lexico-semantic relations and semantic-derivational relations.
