摘要: The definition texts of a machine-readable pocket dictionary were analyzed to determine the disambiguated word sense kernel terms each being defined. resultant sets pairs defined and defining words then computationally connected into two taxonomic semilattices ("tangled hierarchies") representing some 24,000 noun nodes 11,000 verb nodes. study nature "topmost" in these hierarchies, structure trees reveal information about dictionary's organization language, concept semantic primitives other aspects lexical semantics. data proves that offers fundamentally consistent description meaning may provide basis for future research applications computational linguistic systems.
