    BREADTH AND DEPTH OF SEMANTIC LEXICONS

    Edited by

    Most of the books about computational (lexical) semantic lexicons deal with
    the depth (or content) aspect of lexicons, ignoring the breadth (or
    coverage) aspect. This book presents a first attempt in the community to
    address both issues: content and coverage of computational semantic
    lexicons, in a thorough manner. Moreover, it addresses issues which have
    not yet been tackled in implemented systems such as the application time of
    lexical rules. Lexical rules and lexical underspecification are also
    contrasted in implemented systems. The main approaches in the field of
    computational (lexical) semantics are represented in the present book
    (including Wordnet, CyC, Mikrokosmos, Generative Lexicon).

    This book embraces several fields (and subfields) as different as:
    linguistics (theoretical, computational, semantics, pragmatics),
    psycholinguistics, cognitive science, computer science, artificial
    intelligence, knowledge representation, statistics and natural language
    processing. The book also constitutes a very good introduction to the state
    of the art in computational semantic lexicons of the late 1990s.
