Abstract:

Definition is a basic activity of language, of particular importance
to linguists because of its use of language to describe itself. Beyond
this inherent significance as a crucial element of language study,
definitions also provide a rich potential source of the information
needed for Natural Language Processing systems. This book describes an
investigation of the subset of general language used in definition
sentences and the development of a taxonomy of definition types, a
grammar of definition sentences and parsing software which can extract
their functional components. The work is based on definition sentences
used in one of the dictionaries from the Cobuild range, and the book
includes a brief history of the development of monolingual English
dictionaries, an assessment of the concepts of sublanguages and local
grammars and a full exploration of the results of the analysis and of
the present and future applications of the taxonomy, grammar and
parser.
