“…The chart in Figure 13 indicates that most words in this domain are nouns (70%) with adjectives and verbs making up the remainder. As Jan Anward points out, words in a part of speech not only share grammatical properties, but tend to belong to the same semantic category, too (Anward, 2006). Nouns, he argues, denote entities, whereas verbs denote events.…”

This article provides an introduction to the web application Evoke. This application offers functionality to navigate, view, extend, and analyse thesaurus content. The thesauri that can be navigated in Evoke are expressed in Linguistic Linked Data, an interoperable data form that enables the extension of thesaurus content with custom labels and allows for the linking of thesaurus content to other digital resources. As such, Evoke is a powerful research tool that facilitates its users to perform novel cultural linguistic analyses over multiple sources. This article further demonstrates the potential of Evoke by discussing how A Thesaurus of Old English was made available in the application and how this has already been adopted in the field of Old English studies. Lastly, the author situates Evoke within a number of recent developments in the field of Digital Humanities and its applications for onomasiological research.

“…Agglutination is to combine words with sets of stable affixes to produce complicated phrases like judgemental or helplessness in English. In technical terms, the case change of nouns or adjectives is called declension, and words are classified into declinable ones and other indeclinable ones, while verb inflection is called conjugation [1]. Among we said above, those words which are often used in daily expressions, such as, I, my, me, mine, or irregular verbs tend to totally change their forms.…”

The inflection of words based on agreement, such as number, gender and case, is considered to contribute to clarify the dependency between words in a sentence. Our purpose in this study is to investigate the efficiency of word inflections with HPSG (Head-driven Phrase Structure Grammar), which is able to deal with these features directly. Using a notion of utility, we measure the efficiency of a grammar in terms of the balance between the number of semantic structures of a sentence, and the cost of agreement according to the number of unification processes. In our experiments, we showed how these were balanced in two different corpora. One, WSJ (Wall Street Journal), includes long and complicated sentences, while the other corpus, ATIS (Air Travel Information System) does shorter colloquial sentences. In the both corpora, agreement is surely important to reduce ambiguity. However, the importance of agreement in the ATIS corpus became salient as personal pronouns were so often employed in it, compared with the WSJ corpus.
