Gerd Hentschel gehört zu den Pionieren der heutigen Computerlexikografie und der IT-gestützten Korpuserschließung. Eine seiner ersten Zeitschriftenpublikationen, mit dem Titel Einsatz von EDV und Mikrocomputer in einem lexikographischen Forschungsprojekt zum deutschen Lehnwort im Polnischen (Hentschel 1983), befasst sich mit der Frage, wie - unter den damaligen technischen Vorzeichen - Forschungs- und Dokumentationsarbeiten zu polnischen Germanismen sinnvoll durch die Verwendung von Computern unterstützt werden können. Die besagten Arbeiten mündeten später in die Online-Publikation des Wörterbuchs der deutschen Lehnwörter in der polnischen Schrift- und Standardsprache (WDLP). Es ist aus heutiger Sicht bemerkenswert, mit welchen Beschränkungen die Arbeit mit dem Computer noch vor 40 Jahren zu kämpfen hatte. Aus gegebenem Anlass sei es gestattet, diesen Punkt etwas ausführlicher zu illustrieren.
Lexical resources are often represented in table form, e. g., in relational databases, or represented in specially marked up texts, for example, in document based XML models. This paper describes how it is possible to model lexical structures as graphs and how this model can be used to exploit existing lexical resources and even how different types of lexical resources can be combined.
Lexicography
(2008)
Lexicon schemas and their use are discussed in this paper from the perspective of lexicographers and field linguists. A variety of lexicon schemas have been developed, with goals ranging from computational lexicography (DATR) through archiving (LIFT, TEI) to standardization (LMF, FSR). A number of requirements for lexicon schemas are given. The lexicon schemas are introduced and compared to each other in terms of conversion and usability for this particular user group, using a common lexicon entry and providing examples for each schema under consideration. The formats are assessed and the final recommendation is given for the potential users, namely to request standard compliance from the developers of the tools used. This paper should foster a discussion between authors of standards, lexicographers and field linguists.
The chapter on formats and models for lexicons deals with different available data formats of lexical resources. It elaborates on their structure and possible uses. Motivated by the restrictions in merging different lexical resources based on widely spread formalisms and international standards, a formal lexicon model for lexical resources is developed which is related to graph structures in annotations. For lexicons this model is termed the Lexicon Graph. Within this model the concepts of lexicon entries and lexical structures frequently described in the literature are formally defined and examples are given. The article addresses the problem of ambiguity in those formal terms. An implementation based on XML and XML technology such as XQuery for the defined structures is given. The relation to international standards is included as well.
In this paper we present an experimental semantic search function, based on word embeddings, for an integrated online information system on German lexical borrowings into other languages, the Lehnwortportal Deutsch (LWPD). The LWPD synthesizes an increasing number of lexicographical resources and provides basic cross-resource search options. Onomasiological access to the lexical units of the portal is a highly desirable feature for many research questions, such as the likelihood of borrowing lexical units with a given meaning (Haspelmath & Tadmor, 2009; Zeller, 2015). The search technology is based on multilingual pre-trained word embeddings, and individual word senses in the portal are associated with word vectors. Users may select one or more among a very large number of search terms, and the database returns lexical items with word sense vectors similar to these terms. We give a preliminary assessment of the feasibility, usability and efficacy of our approach, in particular in comparison to search options based on semantic domains or fields.
Dictionary usage research views dictionaries primarily as tools for solving linguistic problems. A large proportion of dictionary use now takes place online and can thus be easily monitored using tracking technologies. Using the data gathered through tracking usage data, we hope to optimize user experiences of dictionaries and other linguistic resources. Usage statistics are also used for external evaluation of linguistic resources. In this paper, we pursue the following three questions from a quantitative perspective: (1) What new insights can we gain from collecting and analysing usage data? (2) What limitations of the data and/or the collection process do we need to be aware of? (3) How can these insights and limitations inform the development and evaluation of linguistic resources?
In diesem Beitrag diskutieren wir einen neuen Ansatz zur Erarbeitung von Wörterbüchern, bei dem eine große Zahl Freiwilliger gemeinsam ein Online-Wörterbuch entwickelt. Wir charakterisieren zunächst die wesentlichen Eckpunkte dieses nutzergetrieben-kollaborativen Vorgehens und diskutieren den aktuellen Stand der Forschung. Wir untersuchen Struktur, Dynamik und Zusammensetzung von kollaborativ erarbeiteten Wortschätzen und diskutieren, welches Innovationspotenzial in kollaborativen Wörterbüchern steckt und ob professionell erstellte Wörterbücher durch den neuen Ansatz obsolet werden.
This paper deals with multiword lexemes (MWLs), focussing on two types of verbal MWLs: verbal idioms and support verb constructions. We discuss the characteristic properties of MWLs, namely nonstandard compositionality, restricted substitutability of components, and restricted morpho-syntactic flexibility, and we show how these properties may cause serious problems during the analysis, generation, and transfer steps of machine translation systems. In order to cope with these problems, MT lexicons need to provide detailed descriptions of MWL properties. We list the types of information which we consider the necessary minimum for a successful processing of MWLs, and report on some feasibility studies aimed at the automatic extraction of German verbal multiword lexemes from text corpora and machine-readable dictionaries.
