Working Group: WG2: Lexicon-corpus interface

Abstract:

Within the UniDive COST Action, one of the tasks within WG2 is the design of a lexicon-corpus interface, i.e. a solution that enables interlinking lexicon entries with their occurrences in corpora. Digital lexicons are complementary to corpora because they aim at holistic language modeling and potentially describe a very wide range of linguistic objects, whereas in corpora many phenomena occur rarely or never.

In this paper, we present one of the outcomes of T2.2 within WG2: a proposal for a possible infrastructure that links a corpus and a lexicon, but also promotes a paradigm shift from lexeme-focused to sense-focused links to corpora. The infrastructure consists of a sense-annotated corpus (ELEXIS-WSD Parallel Sense-Annotated Corpus), a knowledge base management tool (Wikibase Cloud), and a concordancer (NoSketch Engine).
