“…This idea was reinforced by Meyer (2001), who stated that definitional patterns can also provide keys that allow the identification of the type of definition found in discursive contexts which is a helpful tool in the development of ontologies.…”

In this paper we present a description of the role of definitional verbal patterns for the extraction of semantic relations. Several studies show that semantic relations can be extracted from analytic definitions contained in machine-readable dictionaries (MRDs). In addition, definitions found in specialised texts are a good starting point to search for different types of definitions where other semantic relations occur. The extraction of definitional knowledge from specialised corpora represents another interesting approach for the extraction of semantic relations. Here, we present a descriptive analysis of definitional verbal patterns in Spanish and the first steps towards the development of a system for the automatic extraction of definitional knowledge.

“…Cruse 1986;Lyons 1977), with which I align myself to view semantic relations as dependant on the network of contextual relations established between words and therefore to argue that the study of vocabulary cannot be separated from the analysis of the context in which words occur. This correlation between lexis and the co-text draws on Meyer's (2001) concept of "knowledge-rich context", "a context indicating at least one item of domain knowledge that could be useful for conceptual analysis" (Meyer 2001: 281). A term thus establishes a number of lexical, grammatical or paralinguistic lexico-grammatical patterns, or knowledge patterns as they are also referred to by terminologists.…”

The underlying assumption of this study is the understanding of a specialized term as a summary of disciplinary knowledge, formalized at a textual level in the contextual relations which structure disciplinary lexical knowledge and are therefore essential for the successful interpretation of a text. With that aim this paper carries the analysis of the lexico-grammatical patterns which signal the hyponymy and meronymy relations of the term building, a key disciplinary concept in a corpus of construction engineering textbooks, using the WordNet database for reference. The linguistic analysis of the repertoire of lexico-grammatical patterns employed brings to the fore the dual role of hyponymy and meronymy as both semantic and metalinguistic discourse-organizing lexical resources, key in the rhetorical organization of the discourse of this discipline.

“…This NL field consists of a set of LSPs that represent the most usual ways a language has for conveying the conceptual relations formalized in ODPs. LSPs are defined here as formalized linguistic schemas or constructions derived from regular expressions in NL that consist of certain linguistic and paralinguistic elements, following a specific syntactic order, and that permit to extract some conclusions about the meaning they express (inspired in [13,17]). Our approach to derive LSPs from NL formulations is based on the assumption that any language has a number of lexical and/or syntactical mechanisms to reliably convey a relation of interest, which in this case is the one represented by the ODP.…”

Abstract. Experiments in the reuse of Ontology Design Patterns (ODPs) have revealed that users with different levels of expertise in ontology modelling face difficulties when reusing ODPs. With the aim of tackling this problem we propose a method and a tool for supporting a semi-automatic reuse of ODPs that takes as input formulations in natural language (NL) of the domain aspect to be modelled, and obtains as output a set of ODPs for solving the initial ontological needs. The correspondence between ODPs and NL formulations is done through Lexico-Syntactic Patterns, linguistic constructs that convey the semantic relations present in ODPs, and which constitute the main contribution of this paper. The main benefit of the proposed approach is the use of non-restricted NL formulations in various languages for obtaining ODPs. The use of full NL poses challenges in the disambiguation of linguistic expressions that we expect to solve with user interaction, among other strategies.
