Computational Approaches to the Lexicon: An Overview
Beryl T. Sue Atkins, Beth Levin, Antonio Zampollí · 1994
Abstract Computational lexicology and lexicography, as the name implies, is a field with close links to other disciplines, in particular computer science, theoretical and computational linguistics, and theoretical and practical lexicography. It is a subject which over the past twenty-five years or so has acquired a personality of its own, with its own growing group of specialists and its own body of literature. Researchers in this new field come from all the contributing disciplines, as reflected, for instance, in the authorship of this volume, which offers a broad perspective on the work being done in the principal areas of activity, ranging from relevant aspects of linguistic theory, through the reusability of lexical resources, to machine-assisted dictionary compiling.
