Overview
Lexical Functions in Lexicography and Natural Language Processing is entirely devoted to the topic of Lexical Functions, which have been introduced in the framework of the Meaning-Text Theory (MTT) as a means for describing restricted lexical co-occurrence and derivational relations. It provides detailed background information, comparative studies of other known proposals for the representation of relations covered by Lexical Functions, as well as a selection of most important works done on and with Lexical Functions in lexicography and computational linguistics. This volume provides excellent course material while it also reports on the state-of-the-art in the field.The volume contains eleven articles: Introduction (L. Wanner); Lexical Functions: A Tool for the Description of Lexical Relations in a Lexicon (I. Mel’cuk); Lexical Functions Across Languages (J. Grimes); Using Lexical Functions for the Extraction of Collocations from Dictionaries and Corpora (U. Heid); A Classification and Description of Lexical Functions for the Analysis of their Combinations (M. Alonso Ramos and A. Tutin); A Case of Aspectual Polysemy, with Implications for Lexical Functions (A. Nakhimovsky); On Dictionary Entries for Support Verbs: The Cases of Russian VESTI, PROVODIT’ and PROIZVODIT’ (T. Reuther); Lexical Functions and Lexical Inheritance for Emotion Lexemes in German (I. Mel’cuk and L. Wanner); Some Procedural Problems in the Implementation of Lexical Functions for Text Generation (I. Ordanskaja, M. Kim, and A. Polguere); Generating Cohesive Text Using Lexical Functions (W. Lee and M. Evens); RUSLO: An Automatic System for Derivation in Russian (N. Percova).
