Adjectives in WordNet.PT
Sara Mendes, Gama Pinto · 2002
Most authors agree that adjective semantic analysis and representation is far from being a trivial issue. Since the semantic organisation of adjectives seems to be unlike that of nouns and verbs, as noted by Fellbaum et al (1993) and Miller (1998), this paper focuses on the encoding of adjectives in wordnets. We discuss the strategies used in WordNet.PT. Our proposal aims at mirroring adjectives definitional features in the database, allowing adjective classes to emerge from the relations expressed in the network. In order to do so, we use some of the semantic relations introduced in the Princeton WordNet, but we also propose some new pointers. 1 1
