The UNL Core Dictionary is expected to contain UW's that are expected to be lexicalized in more than two language groups.

Goal

The main goal of the UNL Core Dictionary Project is to choose and to classify UW's that are lexicalized in several language gropus.

Methodology

The first candidate entries to the UNL Core Dictionary have been extracted from the intersection of the WordNet3.0 and the following English lexical databases

These entries are expected to be validated and analyzed according to the following categories:

  • Degree of Universality, from 1 to 4, according to the number of language groups in which the entry is lexicalized
  • Headword, which is the citation form of the UW in English
  • Semantic root, which is the UW that defines the set to which the UW belongs
  • Hypernym, which is the UW that defines the class of which the UW is a type
  • Definition, which is the definition of the UW, in English
  • Examples, which are examples of the UW, in English
  • Abstractness, which refers to whether the UW is concrete or abstract
  • Alineability, which refers to whether the UW is alienable or not
  • Animacy, which refers to whether the UW is animate or inanimate
  • Cardinality, which refers to whether the UW is countable or not
  • Gender, which refers to the semantic gender of the UW, if any
  • Polarity, which refers to whether the UW conveys a positive or a negative concept
  • Semantic class, which refers to the semantic class of the UW
  • Semantic frame, which refers to the semantic frame of the UW
