Title: Conceptual primitives in the English lexicon
Abstract: Abstract The central component of intelligent natural language understanding systems is the lexicon. The lexicon contains the meaningful elements that allow the system to perform in an intelligent manner. Published dictionaries, as products of lexicographers’ research into the meanings of words, are an important source of information about the semantic structure of the lexicon of a language. This study reports on the results of research on the definitions of words, extracted from a published dictionary, which allows for positing a set of conceptual primitives in the lexicon of English.
