Semantic relations among nouns in Polish WordNet grounded in lexicographic and semantic tradition

Abstract

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.

Semantic relations among adjectives in Polish WordNet 2.0: a new relation set, discussion and evaluation

“…In plWordNet 2.0, pointers to adjectives go from verbs (state, cause and process relations, see Maziarz et al 2011b) and from nouns (cross-categorial synonymy, formations ending with -ość, see Maziarz et al 2011). In this paper, we are only interested in pointers from adjectives.…”
