The Multilingual Semantic Annotation System
Scott Piao
SCC, Lancaster University
In this talk, I will present ongoing work on the development of UCREL multilingual semantic annotation system. Over the past years, the original UCREL English semantic tagger has been adjusted and extended to cover more and more languages, including Finnish, Italian, Portuguese, Chinese, Spanish, French etc. Currently, a major project CorCenCC is underway in which a Welsh semantic tagger is under development in collaboration with Welsh project partners. This tool is useful for various corpus-based research such as cross-lingual studies. I'll discuss linguistic resources involved in the development of the tool, and introduce a GUI tool which links the multilingual tagger web services and help researchers to process corpus data conveniently.
