| Abstract |
DiRetEs is a Spanish monolingual e-dictionary that contains around 100,000 collocations and semantic relations formalized by means of Lexical Functions (LFs). LFs are different formulas, each one appropriate for a different group of collocations or lexical-semantic relations. This dictionary is based on BADELE.3000 database. The peculiarities of this database are: a) it was built based on a map of semantic labels, a sort of hyperons of the lemmas; and b) it was designed to implement two principles: the principle of lexical inheritance which claims that most of the words sharing a hyperonym (such as emotion) could be present in similar collocations (to feel joy, sadness, envy, etc.); and the principle of the domain of LFs which claims that the analysis of LFs domains (which means, the set of words this LF was created for) is useful to predict collocations. The combination of both principles in the design of the database allows the lexicographer to automatically obtain new sets of collocations described by means of LFs; up till now it was applied to only one database, BADELE, in only one language, that being Spanish. In this paper we will present the methodological problems in connection with the automatic inheritance we face right now: predicting collocations by semantic labels and rewriting the map of semantic labels. |
