Subordinating Conjunctions," Technical Report 98-01. Gaithersburg, MD:
CL Research. This paper describes ongoing analysis of the definitions of
subordinating conjunctions in Webster's Third International Dictionary
in development of a lexical knowledge base for these lexical items. We describe
(1) procedures used to move toward identification of the primitives of
subordinating conjunctions using digraph analysis and (2) a preliminary
analysis of the syntactic and semantic structure of subordinating conjunctions,
synthesizing (a) a WordNet analysis of key words used in subordinating
conjunction definitions, (b) observations about subordinating conjunctions in
Quirk et al. (c) the work of Ken Barker ("Interactive semantic analysis of
clause-level relationships"), and (d) the work of Alistair Knott ("A
data-driven method for classifying connective phrases," Journal of
Language and Speech, 39 (1996)); and (4) a brief overview of the next stages of
the analysis (which are under way). Any comments, criticisms, and suggestions
are welcome, as are any offers of assistance for characterizing appropriate
features to be assigned to the lexical entries.

of the Semantic Structure of Dictionaries," American Journal of
Computational Linguistics, Microfiche 81, Frames 25-74. This paper
describes the philosophy underlying the development of the DIMAP toolkit. The
procedures for analyzing dictionary definitions are as valid today as when they
were first written. Current developments in WordNet, Microsoft's MindNet, and
Caroline Barrière's analysis of a children's dictionary were prefigured
here. The paper particularly focuses on the meanings of verbs and provides a
framework for using dictionaries to formalize the semantic characteristics
described in Levin's verb classes. The DIMAP toolkit currently implements Rules
1, 2, 3, and 4b and rudimentary pattern matching in definitions, as described
in the paper.
