I'm looking for pointers to research on dictionaries as semantic networks. In particular, I'm interested in applying the pagerank algorithm to the dictionary. I want to find the central words (words used in definitions of important words), and central concepts (words that have important words as synonyms or similars). Would anyone be able to point me toward relevant research? I'm also interested in collaborating with someone familiar with network analysis.<br>
Thanks,<br>
