Abstract

We investigate the problem of structurally changing lexica, while preserving the information. We present a type of lexicon transformation that is complete on an interesting class of lexica. Our work is motivated by the problem of merging one or more lexica into one lexicon. Lexica, lexicon schemas, and lexicon transformations are all seen as particular kinds of trees.
