| Description | In this paper we have charted how the Theory of Norms and Exploitations makes a link between the high theory of philosophy and language, and what we find in the lexicon. We have followed Patrick in exploring what this means for the use of corpora and for lexicography, briefly describing his application of the theory in Corpus Pattern Analysis. After considering the appeal and the shortcommings of automatic word sense disambiguation, we have presented a piece of software, SADD, which aims to reconcile the excitement and enthusiasm that publishers, investors, computational linguists and software developers feels for WSD with the insights of 'norms and exploitations' and CPA, and the boundless messy detail in corpus. |
