Title: Describing polysemy of Croatian language more precisely
Abstract: Polysemy is the coexistence of several meanings in one word. Some words develop many meanings and their each new meaning can often form another definitions. Dictionary entries have numbered or lettered sub-parts, and these are informing the user of meaning differences. Unfortunately dictionaries can not describe polysemy entirely. If we look at the web corpus we can see that in corpus we find much more sense distinctions than in electronic or printed dictionaries. This calls for finding the way of getting right division of word meanings. Even for lexicographers there are no objective criteria for systematically extracting from corpus data the kinds of information useful to dictionary users. FrameNet and Mindnet are the projects that find a way to solve this problem. The aim of this paper is to accent that there is a need for constructing this project also for Croatian language.
