Overview

Via a number of articles, this book presents a survey and a set of projects in computational lexical semantics. The most crucial aspects of ongoing research on predicates are presented: verb semantic classifications, relations between syntax and semantics, Wordnet for verbs, multilinguism, lexical knowledge bases and lexical acquisition, the generative lexicon. Predicative forms in natural language and in lexical knowledge basis is designed for professors, researchers and graduate students in the area of language processing and semantics.
