Towards Cross-Linguistic Semantic Grounding using Dictionary Graph Analysis

Abstract

AbstractPrevious work has explored the structure of dictionaries as directed graphs, with arcs between words when one word is used in the definition of another. We analyze the efficacy of these methodologies and explore the cross-linguistic patterns of the strongly connected components of multiple monolingual dictionaries. We find that the number of sources in the condensation graph of a directed dictionary graph is roughly stable across multiple different languages, and present future research directions.
