The Study Of Noun And Meaning Annotation In Active Monolingual Chinese Learners’ Dictionaries

This research based on the corpus of all the noun words and meaning annotation of2typical learners’ dictionaries. With the method that combining microscopic and macroscopic analysis, qualitative and quantitative analysis, we made a detailed description of these nouns and meaning annotation and tried to reveal the characteristics and existing problems of noun words and meaning annotation of learners’ dictionary. This study chose all the6492nouns in the two Chinese learners’ dictionaries as our research object and formulated a corpus of noun and meaning annotation. Then we analyzed the rule and characteristics of word-collection of the two learners’dictionaries with SPSS software. Made use of the noun annotation language to analyze and proofread the corpus and get to know the situation of noun meaning annotation. We combined the current reaearch situation and the writer’s self-examination on the basis of quantitative analysis to make a qualitative explanation to the scale of meaning annotation. Finally, we formulated a standard of similarity for the same meaning annotation of the same noun in different dictionaries, and built a systemic corpus of tag set to inspect similar characteristics of noun meaning annotation, which can offer a basic reference of dealing with sentence similarity calculation.The characteristics of this paper were as follows:Firstly, we inspected the noun meaning annotation language and summarized the characteristics of noun meaning annotation language and classified the nouns collected by the dictionary and discovered that the percentage of abstract nouns was the highest, the percentage of abstract nouns in the Usage Dictionary of Modern Chinese Vocabulary is51.6while in the Commercial Press Learner’s Dictionary of Contemporary Chinese is42, biological words, specific words and space-time words are about the same number. We made a quantitative analysis of the usage of different patterns of noun annotation of learners’ dictionary and a comparative research between learners’ dictionary and Modern Chinese Dictionary in the dependency and similarity of noun meaning annotation and reached a conclusion that learners’ dictionary had made some improvement in noun meaning annotation on the basis of Modern Chinese Dictionary, like processing the way of meaning annotation and adding new ones, but not had too much innovation. The two learners’dictionayies showed difference in dependency of the Modern Chinese Dictionary, the similarity of sense meaning annotation of the Usage Dictionary of Modern Chinese Vocabulary is mainly in the interval [1](45%), while the similarity of the sense meaning annotation of the Commercial Press Learner’s Dictionary of Contemporary Chinese mainly in interval [0.2.-0.40](35%) and [0.60-0.80](28.1%), which represented the Commercial Press Learner’s Dictionary of Contemporary Chinese depended the Modern Chinese Dictionary less than the Usage Dictionary of Modern Chinese Vocabulary did.
