Representation and Acquisition of Lexical Knowledge: Polysemy, Ambiguity, and Generativity

Contents

This paper describes a method to automatically acquire the syntactic and semantic classifications of unknown words. Our method reduces the search space of the lexical acquisition problem by utilizing both the left and the right context of the unknown word. Link Grammar prorides a convenient framework in which to implement our method.
