13 Measuring how near words, collocations, words, phrases, sentences, documents are in meaning Classes, domains, hierarchical arrangement play crucial role 13
14 Function of constituents Assignment Verbs assign theta-roles to arguments Prepositions assign theta-roles to objects Deep structure position: determines thematic role 14

18 Different types of lexical ambiguity Polysemy: 2+ related senses (bright, deposit) Homonymy: 2+ unrelated senses (bat, file) Won t address other kinds today Lexical ambiguity is rampant in English Average # senses: 4.74 for nouns, 8.63 for verbs Many words overlap both categories Lexical ambiguity is: dangerous? helpful? immaterial? Contributes to language processing difficulty, complexity Contributes to vagueness, underspecification 18
19 Disambiguation: figuring out which sense is being used in a given instance/context It s clear humans need to do (some) WSD How much? How? Do computers need to do (some) WSD? How much? How? Is it even possible? Not an end in itself, but crucial to other tasks Many applications: MT, IR, content analysis, grammatical analysis, speech, spelling/grammar checkers, etc. What are the techniques? How (well) do they work? How can they be evaluated? 19
