Linking norms, ratings, and relations of words and concepts across multiple language varieties
Psychologists and linguists collect various data on word and concept properties. In
psychology, scholars have accumulated norms and ratings for a large number of words in …

Syn2Vec: Synset colexification graphs for lexical semantic similarity
In this paper we focus on patterns of colexification (co-expressions of form-meaning
mapping in the lexicon) as an aspect of lexical-semantic organization, and use them to build …

Crosslingual transfer learning for low-resource languages based on multilingual colexification graphs
In comparative linguistics, colexification refers to the phenomenon of a lexical form
conveying two or more distinct meanings. Existing work on colexification patterns relies on …

Colex2Lang: Language embeddings from semantic typology
In semantic typology, colexification refers to words with multiple meanings, either related
(polysemy) or unrelated (homophony). Studies of cross-linguistic colexification have yielded …

Translate to disambiguate: Zero-shot multilingual word sense disambiguation with pretrained language models
H Kang, T Blevins, L Zettlemoyer - arXiv preprint arXiv:2304.13803, 2023 - arxiv.org
Pretrained Language Models (PLMs) learn rich cross-lingual knowledge and can be
finetuned to perform well on diverse tasks such as translation and multilingual word sense …

Taxonomy of problems in lexical semantics
Semantic tasks are rarely formally defined, and the exact relationship between them is an
open question. We introduce a taxonomy that elucidates the connection between several …

Colexifications for bootstrapping cross-lingual datasets: The case of phonology, concreteness, and affectiveness
Colexification refers to the linguistic phenomenon where a single lexical form is used to
convey multiple meanings. By studying cross-lingual colexifications, researchers have …

Aligning Alignments: Do Colexification and Distributional Similarity Align as Measures of cross-lingual Lexical Alignment?
The data-driven investigation of the extent to which lexicons of different languages align has
mostly fallen into one of two categories: colexification-based and distributional. The two …
