Re: Expression in lemon

Hi Olivier,

I am very glad to here you are interested in using lemon. Lemon is used to
express how concepts are expressed in language, e.g., their part-of-speech,
morphology and syntactic-semantic correspondences. If you want to define a
concept like twins, you would first need to define it conceptually in an
ontology using the OWL language (however I believe your twin example is a
bit beyond OWL, so you will need to look into a more expressive language).

Once you have defined twin as a concept you can easily annotate the lexical
information using lemon (or of course the soon to be released model from
this list). For example

:Twin a owl:Concept

:Twin_noun a lemon:LexicalEntry ;
  lexinfo:partOfSpeech lexinfo:noun ;
  lemon:sense [ lemon:reference :Twin ] .

Regards,
John
