The Semantic Structure of Neo-Classical Compounds
Alexa T. McCray, Allen C. Browne, Dorothy L. Moore · PubMed Central · 1988
The automated analysis of neo-classical compounds in the medical domain has been proposed and carried out by a number of researchers in recent years. This paper discusses the semantics of these compounds. The results of our work indicate that neo-classical compounds are semantically underdetermined by their constituent parts. Thus, automated analysis of these compounds will need to be supplemented by human review.
