论文摘要
词汇语义类型学已经确定了关于多义模式变化和共同点的重要跨语言概括 - 语言如何将含义包装成单词。最近的计算研究使得对词汇语义的调查更大得多，但是很少的工作探索了跨语义领域的词汇类型学，也没有影响跨语言相似性的因素。我们提出了一个新颖的计算框架，该框架量化了语义亲和力，这是一个概念的词汇语义的跨语言相似性。我们的方法定义了一个常见的多语言语义空间，该空间可以直接比较跨语言的概念的词汇表达。我们在概念和域层面上都验证了关于词汇语义类型学的经验发现。我们的结果揭示了语义领域与语言外因素之间的复杂相互作用，除了语言系统发育之外，跨语言的多义统一的类型。
Lexical semantic typology has identified important cross-linguistic generalizations about the variation and commonalities in polysemy patterns---how languages package up meanings into words. Recent computational research has enabled investigation of lexical semantics at a much larger scale, but little work has explored lexical typology across semantic domains, nor the factors that influence cross-linguistic similarities. We present a novel computational framework that quantifies semantic affinity, the cross-linguistic similarity of lexical semantics for a concept. Our approach defines a common multilingual semantic space that enables a direct comparison of the lexical expression of concepts across languages. We validate our framework against empirical findings on lexical semantic typology at both the concept and domain levels. Our results reveal an intricate interaction between semantic domains and extra-linguistic factors, beyond language phylogeny, that co-shape the typology of polysemy across languages.
