FCSS — Barometer & WSD

Word Sense Definitions

Word Sense Definitions (WSD) as depicted in Figure wsd-barometer2 define one or more meanings of Basic Linguistic Symbol (BLS). Be Δ_X the string definition of a linguistic concept. Then, WSDs are represented as triples of the form ω_W = (>BLS-W, »Def, Δ_X). We abbreviate this by ω_W ≡ Δ_X. Thus, with X ≠ Y and with Δ_X≠ Δ_Y we have two different definitions of the same concept W. The following examples except ω_{goodWeatherRule} are taken from [GoWi2015a]. Please note that the definition for ‘sad’ shows how to define an equation with an variable X.

Δ_{>BLS-living_thing} = (Δ_>BLS-living, Δ_>BLS-thing) = (_living, _thing)
ω_{plant_(creature)} = _{(>BLS-plants_(creature), »Def}, Δ_{>BLS-living_thing}) =
ω_{plant_(creature)} = _{(>BLS-plants_(creature), »Def, (living, thing));}
ω_{plant_(creature)} = (_{>BLS-plants_(creature)}, _»Def, Δ_{>BLS-these_things_can’t_do_something}),
where Δ_{>BLS-these_things_can’t_do_something} = _{((these, things), ((can, not), (do, something))}
ω_sad =_{(>BLS-sad, »Def, ((X, (feels, sad)), equal(X, (feels, something)))}
ω_{goodWeatherRule} =_{(>BLS-goodWeatherRule, »Def,}
_{((((the, (pressure, air)), (equal, high)), then((the, weather), (equal, good)))}
