In
this paper, an
Automated Antonym Dictionary
Generation Tool for Turkish (AADICT) is
briefly described and
the development process
of the algorithms is
given in details.By applying the AADICT
on to the data of Contemporary Turkish Dictionary, which is published by Turkish
Linguistic Association (TDK: Türk Dil Kurumu), antonyms and opposite words database was
obtained. The antonym
dictionary generation process
was carried out through three
processes. As a result of these processes, the definite antonyms were
classified as Definite
Antonym (Dn)and put
into the Antonym List
(ALi). Some words,
which could not be
classified as Dn,were classified as “Ambiguity”
and stored in afile called Ambiguity File (AF)to be checked out by supervised
methods to build more reliable antonym database.The antonyms database, which
is called “Definite Antonyms
Database (DADB)”, for Contemporary Turkish
Dictionary was built
by applying AADICT, has been currently published as “Turkish
Antonyms Dictionary” on the official web site of TDK. This dictionary will help the students
that get as lesson in the school at any
level or learn Turkish as a foreign language.Also, it may be used
in the researches of computational linguistics field.
