Usage notes as the basis for a representation of near-synonymy for lexical choice. DiMarco, C. & Hirst, G. In >Proceedings, 9th annual conference of the University of Waterloo Centre for the New Oxford English Dictionary and Text Research, pages 33–43, Oxford, September, 1993. abstract bibtex The task of choosing between lexical near-equivalents in text generation requires the kind of knowledge of fine differences between words that is typified by the usage notes of dictionaries and books of synonym discrimination. These usage notes follow a fairly standard pattern, and a study of their form and content shows the kinds of differentiae adduced in the discrimination of near-synonyms. For appropriate lexical choice in text generation and machine translation systems, it is necessary to develop the concept of formal `computational usage notes', which would be part of the lexical entries in a conceptual knowledge base. The construction of a set of `computational usage notes' adequate for text generation is a major lexicographic task of the future.
