multilingual access to the web of dataThe ULiSproject >31 billion RDF triples 295 data sets Interlinked by >503 million RDF links 3000 < naturallanguages < 7000 ? Lefrançois & Gandon, ULiS.
OUTLINE • The Meaning-TextTheory • The ULiSproject: multilingualaccess to web of data • The ILexicOn : defining interlingual lexical units Proposal 1: An architecture thatunlocksmotivating scenarios Proposal 2: A formalway to representlexicographicdefinitions Lefrançois & Gandon, ULiS.
1. The Meaning-TextTheory Lefrançois & Gandon, ULiS.
The Meaning-TextTheory A theoretical linguistic framework to construct models of natural language Mel’čuk et. al., late 70’s > today Lefrançois & Gandon, ULiS.
The Meaning-TextTheory • Systems of explicit rules • that express correspondences between meaning and text SemRs • 7 levels of linguistic representation • For a set of synonymous utterances DSynRs SSynRs DMorphRs SMorphRs DPhonRs SPhonRs Lefrançois & Gandon, ULiS.
The Meaning-TextTheory • The masterpiece: • The Explanatory Combinatorial Dictionary Data Meta- Ontology Description of the Explanatory Combinatorial Dictionary Explanatory Combinatorial Dictionary Explantory: Formalsemanticexplanations Combinatorial: Lexical combinations SemRs DSynRs SSynRs DMorphRs SMorphRs DPhonRs SPhonRs Lefrançois & Gandon, ULiS.
Structure of the ECD entry Semantic zone: (formal?) (text or SemR?) lexical definition of lexical units Semantic actants: arguments of the semanticpredicate denotational vs. connotationalsemanticelements(ex: EN hot air, FR wind, RU water). • Phonological/Graphematic zone: • orthograph + prosody • The cooccurrence zone Lefrançois & Gandon, ULiS.
Structure of the ECD entry- The cooccurrence zone Morphologicalsub-zone: inflections, derivations. Syntacticsub-zone: Government pattern Correspondance semantic – syntax (based on Dependencygrammars) ways to express a semanticpredicate in the language How the lexical unit participates in specific constructions as a dependent Lexical sub-zone semanticderivations and collocations Stylisticsub-zone Usage labels Pragmaticsub-zone real-life situations where expressions are appropriate. Lefrançois & Gandon, ULiS.
Structure of the ECD entry- Examples of lexical functions lexical functions : paradigmatic Syn(telephoneV) = phoneV Anti Conv21(preced) = follow Gener(republic) = state Figur(rain) = curtain (a curtain of rain) S0(analyse) = analysis A0(city) = urban V0(analysis) = analyse Adv0(slow) = slowly S1(teach) = teacher ; S2(teach) = subject ; S3(teach) = pupil; … 19 in total Lefrançois & Gandon, ULiS.
Structure of the ECD entry- Examples of lexical functions lexical functions : syntagmatic Magn(laughV) = one’shead off Bon(service) = first-class Locin(height) = at [a height of…] Oper1(supportN) = [to] lend [~ to N] Oper2(supportN) = [to] receive [~ to N] Func1(blownN) = comes [from ~] … 34 in total + non-standard lexical functions WithNoSugar(coffee) = black Lefrançois & Gandon, ULiS.
? 2. The ULiS project:Multilingual access to the web of data Lefrançois & Gandon, ULiS.
Universal Networking Language • +RDF? A pivot-based NLP technique • +MTT? Interlanguage Convert Deconvert Lefrançois & Gandon, ULiS.
The ULiSproject a UniversalLinguisticSystem Interlanguage Convert Deconvert Lefrançois & Gandon, ULiS.
