Kontekstowe rozstrzyganie wieloznaczności w tekście polskim
(Wydawnictwa AGH, 2002) Krężołek, Marek
This article describes a computer programme designed to assign the appropriate meaning to homonyms based on the context in which they appear. Homonyms can be defined as words with a number of different, often unrelated, meanings (for example a bank - a business that lends or keeps money, the land along the side of river, a large pile of earth, sand, snow). The programme described in the paper exploits a monolingual dictionary, which, together with and supported by declension dictionary assigns the appropriate meaning for any given word from the text. In order to assign the correct and appropriate meaning for the given context two methods are used and exploited: 1) Recognition of the meaning of a particular homonym based on the occurrence of its collocations in the immediate context. 2) Applying the correct meaning of the word based on the overall theme or topic of the text in which appears.
