Each wordnet in the  database represents a language-specific structure due to the unique  lexicalization of concepts in languages. The concepts are inter-linked  via a separate Inter-Lingual-Index, where equivalent concepts across  languages should share the same index item. The flexible multilingual  design of the database makes it possible to compare the  lexicalizations and semantic structures, revealing answers to  fundamental linguistic and philosophical questions which could never  be answered before. How consistent are lexical semantic networks  across languages, what are the language-specific differences of these  networks, is there a language-universal ontology, how much information  can be shared across languages? First attempts to answer these  questions are given in the form of a set of shared or common Base  Concepts that has been derived from the separate wordnets and their  classification by a language-neutral top-ontology. These Base Concepts  play a fundamental role in several wordnets. Nevertheless, the  database may also serve many practical needs with respect to  (cross-language) information retrieval, machine translation tools,  language generation tools and language learning tools, which are  discussed in the final chapter. \u003cbr\u003e  The book offers an excellent introduction to the EuroWordNet project  for scholars in the field and raises many issues that set the  directions for further research in semantics and knowledge  engineering.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 1998-10-31\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9780792352952\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-94-017-1491-4\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 234cm x156cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 180\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Netherlands","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47388023324812,"sku":"9780792352952","price":98.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780792352952.jpg?v=1775756786","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9780792352952","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
