PREDICATIVE FORMS IN NATURAL LANGUAGE AND IN LEXICAL KNOWLEDGE BASES

edited by
Patrick Saint-Dizier
IRIT-CNRS, Toulouse, France

This book presents, by means of a number of articles, a survey and a set of
projects in computational lexical semantics. The most crucial aspects of
ongoing research on predicates are presented: verb semantic
classifications, relations between syntax and semantics, Wordnet for Verbs,
multilinguism, lexical knowledge bases and lexical acquisition, the
generative lexicon.

Predicative Forms in Natural Language and in Lexical Knowledge Bases is
designed for professors, researchers and graduate students in the area of
language processing and semantics.
