![]() Establishing semantic domains and sub domains based on distinguishing semantic or componential features.Classification of lexical items into semantic domains in a hierarchical fashion.Linguistic issues comprise of the following items: There are at least two issues - linguistic and computational - to be encountered in preparing the word net for Tamil. A paper thesaurus (Rajendran, 2001) and an electronic thesaurus prepared by Rajendran are available for ready reference. Rajendran (1978, 1983) has analysed Tamil vocabulary based on componential analysis of meaning that can be used as a source material in the preparation of Word Net for Tamil. (1993) will be profusely used in the preparation of word net for Tamil. The ideas propounded by Miller (1991) and Miller, et al. ![]() The present Word Net of Tamil is aimed to be built on the foundation offered by natural language processing (NLP), taking into account its application in the fields of language teaching and language learning, lexicography, translation, both machine and human, and AI knowledge representation. But its efficiency in bringing out the lexical relations exalts it to a higher position than the thesaurus. In one sense, Word net is an on-line thesaurus. But the Word Net, that is much more efficient and versatile than the paper thesaurus, is available in electronic media. A thesaurus, in its widest contemporary sense, is a classification of words by concepts, topics, or subjects (see Rajendran, 2001). Word Net in this sense resembles a thesaurus more than a dictionary. The Word Net aims to organize lexical information in terms of word meanings or concepts rather than word forms. (1993), "Word Net is an on-line lexical reference system whose design is inspired by current psycholinguistic theories of human lexical memory." The organization or Word Net is based on the presumption that there is a mental dictionary or thesaurus in which the words are organised under conceptual fields or semantic domains. Such a study can be made use of for various lexical studies as well as application oriented studies like machine translation (in which word-disambiguation is a crucial issue), and machine oriented language learning and teaching.Īccording to Miller, et al. ![]() Programs have to be written to capture the net work of relations existing between the lexical items and a user friendly interface has be set up to make use of the Word Net for various purposes. Componential analysis which studies meanings of lexical items in terms of meaning components or features can help us to capture the above mentioned net work of relations in a more systematic way.Ī database has to be created depicting the lexical items and their meaning relations such as hyponymy-hypernymy (subordination-superordination relationship), meronymy-holonymy (part-whole relationship), synonymy and lexical opposition and the formal relations such as derivation and collocation. Also words are related to one another due to their derivational as well as collocational meaning. As we know, lexical items are related to one another in the hierarchical dimension as taxonomies (which show hyponymy-hypernymy and meronymy-holonymy relationship) and non-hierarchical dimension as opposites (which include complementaries, antonyms, antipodals, counterparts, reversives and converses) and synonyms. The main objective of the project entitled WORDNET FOR TAMIL is to capture the network of lexical relations between lexical items in Tamil.
