Phénomènes naturels - une esquisse orientée-objets

In her article Magdalena Edut presented a new type of the lexicographical description which is based on the methodology of the object-oriented approach (approche orientee-objets). In the first part of the text she discussed, on the example of the word mżawka (drizzle), which belongs to the category of the “natural phenomena”, the principles and aims of the proposed approach. In the following parts she compared the received description with the description suggested by the lexical database WordNet and with the contemporary lexicographical theories dealing with the issue of the automatic translation: - prof. G. Gross’s idea of an electronic dictionary, - I. Mel’cuk’s and A. Zolkovsky’s model Sens-Texte, - Pustejovsky’s and Boguraev’s structure qualia.
