TAILIEUCHUNG - Báo cáo khoa học: "Statistics of Operationally Defined Homonyms of Elementary Words"

This computerized study of the homonyms of elementary words (roughly equivalent to monosyllabic words) has allowed the compilation of exhaustive lists of homonym sets, using phonetic transcriptions from five different dictionaries. Of the 5,757 elementary words, 2,966 were involved in at least one homonym set, indicating that homonyms will present a significant problem in. | Mechanical Translation and Computational Linguistics nos. 1 and 2 March and June 1967 Statistics of Operationally Defined Homonyms of Elementary Words by L. L. Earl B. V. Bhimani and R. P. Mitchell Lockheed Palo Alto Research Laboratory Palo Alto California This computerized study of the homonyms of elementary words roughly equivalent to monosyllabic words has allowed the compilation of exhaustive lists of homonym sets using phonetic transcriptions from five different dictionaries. Of the 5 757 elementary words 2 966 were involved in at least one homonym set indicating that homonyms will present a significant problem in mechanized word recognition. The effects on the homonym sets of changing from the phonetic transcription of one dictionary to another were tabulated as were the effects of removing dialectal pronunciations. Since the effects of dialectal variations turned out to be relatively small it was possible to categorize and list for study the actual words whose dialectal pronunciations caused homonym-type confusion with other words. Introduction In 1919 Robert Bridges published an essay on homonyms as Tract II of the Society for Pure English in which he compiled lists of words that are pronounced alike but have different origin and signification. His lists drawn from the entire language contained 835 entries comprising 1 775 words which led him to the propositions that homonyms are a nuisance and that English is exceptionally burdened with them. He proposed also that homonyms are self-destructive and tend to become obsolete a proposition which may be questioned in the light of the number of homonyms discovered in our investigations. Words that are pronounced the same but have different spellings and meanings variously called either homonyms or homophones are of even more practical interest today than in 1919 because automatic handling of spoken languages will require distinguishing among them. Our results indicate that over half the one-syllable .
