영문 초록

In this paper, we argue that natural language processing requires dictionaries more sophisticated than any currently available. This paper describes a project to meet that need by automating lexicography. The automated lexicography system undertaken here “runs syntax in reverse,” examining sentences to detect lexical features by their syntactic effects. This project envisions processing large bodies of edited, free text, such as newspapers, in order to identify the lexical features of words. The project described here focuses initially the acquisition of lexical features in the area of aspect. The requirements for acquiring these features for a large segment of the language are examined. The conclusion is that automated lexicography, while complex, is feasible and worthwhile.
