Polysemy: Theoretical and Computational Approaches
Yael Ravin & Claudia Leacock (eds.)
Oxford University Press (2000)
| Abstract | Polysemy is a term used in semantic and lexical analysis to describe a word with multiple meanings. Although such words present few difficulties in everyday communication, they do pose near-intractable problems for linguists and lexicographers. The contributors in this volume consider the implications of these problems for linguistic theory and how they may be addressed in computational linguistics. | |||||||||
