Items related to Polysemy: Theoretical and Computational Approaches...
Polysemy is a term used in semantic and lexical analysis to describe a word with multiple meanings. Although such words present few difficulties in everyday communication, they do pose near-intractable problems for linguists and lexicographers. The contributors in this volume consider the implications of these problems for linguistic theory and how they may be addressed in computational linguistics.

About the Author:
Yael Ravin is a research staff member at the T. J. Watson Research Center of IBM in New York, where she has been working in computational linguistics. Her current research focuses on integrating information extraction and text retrieval techniques into knowledge management applications.
Claudia Leacock recently became a research scientist in the Natural Language Processing group at the Educational Testing Service. Previously she spent six years as a research staff member at Princeton University's Cognitive Science Laboratory.
Review:
"A worthwhile addition to the library of anyone who works on problems that are affected by the slippery nature of word meanings. ...an exceptional volume"--Minds and Machines
"[This] book gives a very good overall picture of current issues in polysemy and of the diverse ways of approaching the topic. It should therefore hold an important place on the shelves of any researcher in the fields of lexical semantics and word sense disambiguation, and will certainly be valued by many of our graduate students."--Computational Linguistics

Book Description Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. This volume of newly commissioned essays examines current theoretical and computational work on polysemy, the term used in semantic analysis to describe words with more than one meaning or function, sometimes perhaps related (as in plain) and sometimes perhaps not (as in bank). Such words present few difficulties in everyday language, but pose central problems for linguists and lexicographers, especially for those involved in lexical semantics andin computational modelling. The contributors to this bookDSleading researchers in theoretical and computational linguisticsDSconsider the implications of these problems for grammatical theory and how they may be addressedby computational means. The theoretical essays in the book examine polysemy as an aspect of a broader theory of word meaning. Three theoretical approaches are presented: the Classical (or Aristotelian), the Prototypical, and the Relational. Their authors describe the nature of polysemy, the criteria for detecting it, and its manifestations across languages. They examine the issues arising from the regularity of polysemy and the theoretical principles proposed to accountfor the interaction of lexical meaning with the semantics and syntax of the context in which it occurs. Finally they consider the formal representations of meaning in the lexicon, and their implicationsfor dictionary construction. The computational essays are concerned with the challenge of polysemy to automatic sense disambiguationDShow intended meaning for a word occurrence can be identified. The approaches presented include the exploitation of lexical information in machine-readable dictionaries, machine learning based on patterns of word co-occurrence, and hybrid approaches that combine the two. As a whole, the volumeshows how on the one hand theoretical work provides the motivation and may suggest the basis for computational algorithms, while on the other computational results may validate, or reveal problems in, theprinciples set forth by theories. Polysemy is a term used to describe a word with multiple meanings. The problem is to establish whether its the same word with related meanings or different words that happen to look or sound the same. The contributors consider the implications of these problems for grammatical theory and how they may be addressed in computational linguistics.
