Abstract

In this paper, we propose a procedural schema as a model of cognitive processing of word senses, which can be viewed as a derivational resolution of polysemy. Previous researches, such as Frame -Based Lexicon by Fillmore [4] and Lexical Semantics by Cruse [2], are all concerned with word senses, but what is still missing is a holistic resolution of polysemy. Therefore, in this paper, we focus on the cognitive process from word form to word senses, based on corpus-based procedural resolution. In this way, we hope to provide an overall discussion and a computerizable way of solving multiplicity of semantic usages of a single word form. A case study of the Mandarin verb ZOU (走) is presented and used as an illustration.
