 | | The Lexicon and Figurative Language July 11 2003, Sapporo, Japan http://www.cs.bham.ac.uk/~amw/ACLWorkshop.html Post-Conference Workshop as part of ACL 2003 http://www.ec-inc.co.jp/ACL2003/ Call for Papers Workshop Description The problem of word-sense disambiguation is currently one of the central concerns of natural language processing. |
 | | The list approach is compatible with WordNet approaches, but puts the approach in conflict with that of the generative lexicon, and so the question is raised as to how much structure is needed in the lexicon in order to cope with figurative language. |
 | | We therefore have three different approaches to the lexicon and the problems that figurative language poses for word-sense disambiguation, and the major theme of this workshop is to explore means for tackling these problems, particularly means that could be used in practical NLP applications. |
