Polish and English Wordnets --- Statistical Analysis of Interconnected Networks
Maksymilian Bujok, Piotr Fronczak, Agata Fronczak · Acta Physica Polonica B Proceedings Supplement · 2014
Wordnets are semantic networks containing nouns, verbs, adjectives, and adverbs organized according to linguistic principles, by means of semantic relations.In this work, we adopt a complex network perspective to perform a comparative analysis of the English and Polish wordnets.We determine their similarities and show that the networks exhibit some of the typical characteristics observed in other real-world networks.We analyse interlingual relations between both wordnets and deliberate over the problem of mapping the Polish lexicon onto the English one.
