Keywords: | DRNTU::Humanities::Linguistics::Sociolinguistics::Computational linguistics | Issue Date: | 2002 | Source: | Bond, F., & Caitlin, V. B. (2002). Using an ontology to determine English countability. Proceedings of 19th International Conference on Computational Linguistics: COLING-2002. | Abstract: | In this paper we show to what degree the countability of English nouns is predictable from their semantics. We found that at 78% of nouns' countability could be predicted using an ontology of 2,710 nodes. We also show how this predictability can be used to aid non-native speakers to determine the countability of English nouns when building a bilingual machine translation lexicon. | URI: | https://hdl.handle.net/10356/92258 http://hdl.handle.net/10220/6817 |
