Abstract

This paper describes the construction of a lexicon representing abstract concepts. This lexicon is written by an object-oriented language, CTALK, and forms a dynamic network system controlled by object-oriented mechanisms. The content of the lexicon is constructed using a Japanese dictionary. First, entry words and their definition parts are derived from the dictionary. Second, syntactic and semantic information is analyzed from these parts. Finally, superconcepts are assigned in the superconcept part in an object, static parts to the slot values, and dynamic operations to the message parts, respectively. One word has one object in a world, but through the superconcept part and slot part this connects to the subconcept of other words and worlds. When relative concepts are accumulated, the result will be a model of human thoughts which have conscious and unconscious parts.
