Abstract

We evaluate two types of lexical resources with respect to their applicability to interlingual machine translation: (1) a EuroWordNet-based database of bilingual links between Spanish and English words; and (2) a repository of semantically classified verbs with their
corresponding Lexical Conceptual Structure (LCS) representations. We examine the utility of these two resources for the task of lexical
selection in machine translation. Our approach uses a coarse-grained graph-matching scheme that selects target-language words based
on their LCS representation. The final selection of target-language terms is based on a finer-grained linking into the EuroWordNet-based
repository.
