2.1.5 Lexical Semantics
- The task of translation is to take words and sentences in one language and produce words and sentences with the same meaning in another language. Unfortunately, meaning is a very difficult concept to deal with.
- The definition of word senses, like everything else in semantics, is difficult business. How many senses does the word interest have? … Fortunately, translation provides a clear basis for defining relevant word senses. A word has multiple senses, if it has multiple translations into another language. For instance, the three meanings of interest we listed above result in different translations into German: Interesse (curiosity sense), Anteil (stake sense) and Zins (money sense). … The task of determining the right word sense for a word in a given context is called word sense disambiguation. Research in this area has shown that the word context such as closely neighboring words and content words in a larger window are good indicators for word sense.
