Abstract

The article considers the problems of application of computer technologies in the study of lexical semantics of relative adjectives of the Ukrainian language. Emphasis is placed on the need to create effective systems for processing semantic information by computer programs and to build high-tech language information tools for describing semantics on many parameters. The research was conducted on the basis of the electronic «Dictionary of the Ukrainian language» in 20 volumes, which is created in the Ukrainian language and information fund of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine. The dictionary is presented in the form of the Virtual Lexicographic Laboratory «Dictionary of the Ukrainian Language». The purpose of the article is to demonstrate the feasibility and possibilities of using computer technology in research on lexical semantics, focused on the creation of automatic systems for processing language information. The object of analysis is the dictionary articles of relative adjectives, the meaning of which in the explanatory dictionary is transferred by implicit formulas of interpretation «Adjective to…» and «Concerning to… », which only establishes the fact of connection of the meaning of adjectives with the lexical meanings of the nouns from which these adjectives are formed, which makes it impossible to analyze their semantic properties with the help of computer programs. Research methods – lexicographic analysis, theory of semantic states, corpus technology. To conduct a semantic analysis of relative adjectives of the Ukrainian language in the study used the formalism of the theory of semantic states, developed by V. A. Shirokov. The analysis was conducted within the integrated lexicographic system created in the Ukrainian Language and Information Fund of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine. The results of the analysis are presented in the lexicographic database «Semantics of relative adjectives» developed within the research, built for multiparametric description of semantic properties of relative adjectives of the Ukrainian language. The lexicographic database «Semantics of relative adjectives» will be a representative material for other multiparametric linguistic research in automated mode, including problems of unambiguity and ambiguity of words, word-forming semantics, creating semantic classifications, construction of a semantic dictionary for the Ukrainian language, translation dictionaries, as well as a source of source information during the formation of the Ukrainian terminological system. An explicit representation of the meaning of relative adjectives will facilitate the use of computer technology in lexical semantics research focused on creating automated systems for processing linguistic information.
