Deconstructing the Library of Babel
Graded readers (GRs) are a popular language-learning resource, as they provide contextualized input adapted to any level. Still, their creation process is non-systematic and their quantity is limited. This article investigates, firstly, the progression of linguistic complexity in a series of Spanish GRs of consecutive levels, and secondly, whether literary works (LWs) targeted at specific age groups of L1 speakers exhibit a similar gradation, thu…
Towards Distributional Semantics-Based Classification of Collocations for Collocation Dictionaries
Automatic acquisition of raw source material is of great aid for the compilation of dictionaries, and, in particular, of specialized dictionaries such as collocation dictionaries. The extraction of collocations from corpora has been actively worked on since the late eighties. The quality of the state-of-the-art extraction algorithms allows the lexicographers to obtain lists of collocations they can work with. However, mere lists of collocations a…
Lexical Co-occurrence and Lexical Inheritance. Emotion Lexemes in German
In the present paper, we tackle the problem of the compact and efficient representation of restricted lexical co-occurrence information in the lexicon along semantic lines. The theoretical framework for this study is the Meaning Text Theory (MTT) and, more specifically, the lexicographic part of MIT --- the Explanatory Combinatorial Dictionary (ECD), which contains for each lexeme (i) its semantic definition, (ii) a systematic description of its …
Automatic taxonomy extraction for specialized domains using distributional semantics
This article explores a statistical, language-independent methodology for the construction of taxonomies of specialized domains from noisy corpora. In contrast to proposals that exploit linguistic information by searching for lexico-syntactic patterns that tend to express the hypernymy relation, our methodology relies entirely upon the distributional semantics of terms as captured by their lexical co-occurrence in large scale corpora. In a first …
Alternances actancielles et la montée du possesseur
The present paper is an exercise in the description of actant structures in Spanish possessor raising constructions in the framework of the Meaning-Text Theory (MTT). We argue that there is a significant difference between constructions in which the possessor is incorporated into the meaning of the main verb and constructions in which it is not. This difference explains the availability or lack of certain alternations for specific constructions ;…
Summarization of specialized discourse
In this article, we present the current state of our work on a linguistically-motivated model for automatic summarization of medical articles in Spanish. The model takes into account the results of an empirical study which reveals that, on the one hand, domain-specific summarization criteria can often be derived from the summaries of domain specialists, and, on the other hand, adequate summarization strategies must be multidimensional, i.e., cove…
The first steps towards the automatic compilation of specialized collocation dictionaries
Collocation dictionaries are essential in specialized discourse for understanding, production, and translation. Especially translation, which is often undertaken by professionals who are not specialists of the field, is in need of dictionaries with detailed syntactic and semantic information on lexical and semantic links between terms. However, collocation dictionaries are hardly available for general, let alone specialized, discourse. The manual…

Lexical Functions in Lexicography and Natural Language Processing
Lexical Functions in Lexicography and Natural Language Processing is entirely devoted to the topic of Lexical Functions, which have been introduced in the framework of the Meaning-Text Theory (MTT) as a means for describing restricted lexical co-occurrence and derivational relations. It provides detailed background information, comparative studies of other known proposals for the representation of relations covered by Lexical Functions, as well a…
