Abstract

In this paper, we report on a large-scale conversion experiment with on-line valency dictionaries. A linguistically motivated valency dictionary in Prolog is converted into a valency dictionary for a large-scale machine translation system. Several aspects of the two dictionaries and their background projects are discussed, as well as the way their representations are mapped. The results of the conversion are looked at from an economic perspective (fast conding for NLP), and also from a computational-lexicographic perspective (requirements for conversions and for standardization of lexicon information).
