Abstract

Natural language processing systems require three different types of lexicons: the concept lexicon that describes the (sub)world ontology and the analysis and generation lexicons for natural languages. We argue that the acquisition of the concept lexicon must precede any lexical work on natural language and that a comprehensive lexicon management system (LMS) is necessary for lexicon acquisition in large-scale applications. We describe the interactive concept lexicon acquisition module of the LMS for TRANSLATOR, a knowledge-based, sublanguage-oriented machine translation project.
