| "text": "Like most modern lemmatizers, DILEMMA-1 uses as much linguistic knowledge as possible, by translating any regularity on the lexico-morphological level into rules, thus keeping the dictionary small. But in the case of DILEMMA-1 the size of the dictionary is exlxemely small when compared to other lemmatizer-taggers: a little over 3600 words. For a comparison between DILEMMA-1 and CLAWS, another well-known, lemmatizer-tagger for English, see [MARTIN 88b]. In passing it can be noted that DILEMMA-1 uses a dictionary only half the size of that used in CLAWS. This smallness is due to criteria adopted on the macro-and micro-level of the dictionary. The vertical macro-level is concerned with the words to select as entry, whereas the horizontal micro-level deals with the information to store next to the dictionary entry. On the micro-level, categorial information is stored preferentially. Each word is given a preferential default category which can shift to other categories along a categorial graph manipulated by the program (see Fig. 1 ). This way of storing categorial information is based on the fact that DILEMMA-1 also tries to look for regularity in the categories words can have, and that is what makes it so different from other lemmatizers. Being a morphologically poor language, English has a large number of grammatical homonyms. DILEMMA-1 starts from the assumption (i) that English words can have different categories, (ii) that each word has a default category (DC), and (iii) that the necessary categorial shifts can be systematized. The DC, which is the main category of a word, is established on the basis of frequency, analogy and/or meaning. Next to a DC, each word in the dictionary (see Table 1 ) has a pointer (left, fight or neither) indicating the direction in which a category can shift through a categorial graph which was established after calculating the combination and frequency of categories. The word \"kiss\", for example, has the category 'verb' as DC, and can shift 'right' to the 'noun' category. All categorial shifts are guided by condition-action rules in the rule component of the DILEMMA-1-program. Note also that the categories 'numeral' and 'interjection'", | |

The object of this research project was how to bring back the success rate for lemmatizing medical abstracts, without changing the philosophy behind the DILEMMA-I-program, which is developed as a robust, preferential, dynamic system in which items can take different values governed by constraints. Moreover, in a language such as English, categories are often functional instead of lexical (which explains, in part, the small size of the lexicon).", | |

In an extreme case there was only one error in a text of 42 words (success rate = 97.62%).

In as far as the missing terms showed some regularity at the lexico-morphological and syntactic level, they could be dealt with outside the dictionary, by using a sublanguage specific suffix list and a sublanguage specific gaps filler default. The former has been arrived at by considering medical sublanguage from a broad point-ofview, situating it within the functional domain of scientific writing. Table 4 gives a sample of scientific suffixes which have categorial power and which are typical for the formation of medical terms in a broad sense of the term. As to the default for the remaining gaps, it became apparent from the sample analysis that medical texts, like most scientific texts, heavily nominalize. As a result, we expect remaining gaps to be (part of) NPs. Given the contents of the existing DILEMMA dictionary this leads us to a choice between (predominantly) nouns and adjectives. Therefore, only in a last module is DILEMMA-2 allowed to fill out all remaining gaps as nouns unless these gaps:", | |

In other words, the dictionary only contains words which are either frequent or which belong to closed classes or which cannot be deduced from the grammar of the English language. To construct the list of frequent words, we used Van Dale's English-Dutch Dictionary ([MARTIN 89]), where very frequent words are labeled F4 or F3. These frequency codes were the result of an earlier research project ([MARTIN 83], [MARTIN 88a]).", | |

(c) When a PAST PAPA is found at the beginning of a ~tence, select PAPA: e.g.Affected males suffer profound deficits in oxidative metabolism. Each case was implemented in a condition-actioJ rule, so that example (a), when written as a C-function looks as follows: if ((thisspec == C_past) && (this[0].spec2 == C papa) && (prevspec == C_ing) && (nextcat == C_noun)) thisspec = C_papa; this[0].spec2 = C_nullspec; the specifier of the preceding word is C ing the category of the next word is C noun change the specifier of the selected word into Cpapa eliminate the alternative specifier As stated above, our proposal of PAST_PAPA rules was based on observations of the Elsevier corpus of medical abstracts at our disposal. We found that the contexts in which wrongly coded attributive PAPA's occur, can --as a rule --be characterized as: (a) object NP s following a verb (e.g. and have found marked changes); Co) NP8 not (directly) following a verb (e.g. once in individual association and once in a combined,fixed preparation); (c) complex NP 8 (e.g. after a co-ordinating conjunction); (d) subject NP s at the beginning of sentence (e.g. Affected males suffer profound deficits ...).", | |
