    A "semantic tagset" derived from word-definitions in LDOCE
    (Longman Dictionary of Contemporary English) is described in

    George Demetriou and Eric Atwell. 2001. A domain-independent semantic tagger
    for the study of meaning associations in English text. In Harry Bunt, Ielka
    van der Sluis and Elias Thijsse (editors), Proceedings of the Fourth
    International Workshop on Computational Semantics (IWCS-4) pp.67-80.
    Tilburg, Netherlands. http://www.comp.leeds.ac.uk/eric/iwcs.ps

    and
    Xiao Yuan Duan and Eric Atwell. 2002. Semantic Association between Web Pages -
    a Lexical Knowledge Based Method. In: Proceedings of the 5th Annual CLUK
    Colloquium: Computational Linguistics in the United Kingdom, (CLUK 2002,
    University of Leeds, UK), pp.66 -76, 2002.

    A different semantic tagger, much more PRACTICAL as it comes integrated
    into a web-based easy-to-use interface allowing you to upload and
    tag your own corpus texts, is described in

    Rayson, P. (2003). Matrix: A statistical method and software tool for
    linguistic analysis through corpus comparison. Ph.D. thesis, Lancaster
    University.

    Contact Paul Rayson: http://www.comp.lancs.ac.uk/computing/users/paul/

    Or better still, come to Corpus Linguistics 2003 (28-31 March) and meet Paul
    in person at Lancaster! - http://www.comp.lancs.ac.uk/ucrel/cl2003/
