A Computational Lexicon of Portuguese for Automatic Text Parsing
Ehsabete Ranchhod, Cristina Mota, Jorge Baptista · 1999
Using standard methods and formats established at LADL, and adopted by several European research teams to construct largecoverage electronic dictionaries and grammars, we elaborated for Portuguese a set of lexical resources, that were implemented in INTEX. We describe the main features of such linguistic data, refer to their maintenance and extension, and give different examples of automatic text parsing based on those dictionaries and grammars. Keywords: Text parsing; large-coverage dictionaries; computational lexicons; word tagging; information retrieval. 1 Introduction and Background The French DELA system was conceived and developed at LADL (Laboratoire d'Automatique Documentaire et Linguistique). It includes monolingual linguistic resources (mainly for French and English) specifically elaborated to be integrated into NLP systems. Standard methods and formats have been defined and are now used by other national teams working on their own languages: German, Greek, Italian, Portug...
