Chinese Wordnet doc translation

[yoyo-go]

Empty framework created for doc_zh.py

I have downloaded the Chinese Wordnet, and read the Building the Chinese Open Wordnet (COW): Starting from Core Synsets and the Cross-lingual Portability of Semantic Relations: Bootstrapping Chinese WordNet with English WordNet Relations papers, but I still have a few questions before translating:

1. The Chinese Wordnet may not have all the relations in PWN, where can I figure out which relations to include and which to delete?
2. Are there any glossary terms of EN-CH so I can refer on the name of the relations or the definitions? Or I just translate the terms by myself?
3. How can I find the linked English synset when dealing with the Chinese examples? Since the Chinese Wordnet only have lexical entries like this:

<LexicalEntry id="cmnwn-lex21360">
      <Lemma writtenForm="基金" partOfSpeech="n"/>
      <Sense id="cmnwn-lex21360--13356985-n" synset="cmnwn-13356985-n"></Sense>
      <Sense id="cmnwn-lex21360--13358549-n" synset="cmnwn-13358549-n"></Sense>
</LexicalEntry>

If I would like to find an example like in Chinese, word A is a hypernym of word B, how should I achieve that?

Hi,

Empty framework created for doc_zh.py

I have downloaded the Chinese Wordnet, and read the Building the Chinese Open Wordnet (COW): Starting from Core Synsets and the Cross-lingual Portability of Semantic Relations: Bootstrapping Chinese WordNet with English WordNet Relations papers, but I still have a few questions before translating:

1. The Chinese Wordnet may not have all the relations in PWN, where can I figure out which relations to include and which to delete?

Because Chinese speakers may use other wordnets, ideally all the relations should be defined. But maybe start with the constitutive ones.

2. Are there any glossary terms of EN-CH so I can refer on the name of the relations or the definitions? Or I just translate the terms by myself?

I don't know of any good glossary. Maybe take a look at a Chinese lexical semantic textbook, or papers about one of the Chinese wordnets?

3. How can I find the linked English synset when dealing with the Chinese examples? Since the Chinese Wordnet only have lexical entries like this:

Once you have loaded the lexicon in the wn module, you can use translate:

>>> wn.synsets('word', lexicon='ewn')[0].translate(lexicon='cmnwn:1.3+omw')
[Word('cmnwn-lex65514')]

to get the lemmas:

wn.synsets('word', lexicon='ewn')[0].translate(lexicon='cmnwn:1.3+omw')
['表达']

or the ILI:

wn.synsets('word', lexicon='ewn')[0].translate(lexicon='cmnwn:1.3+omw')[0].ili
'i26490'

<LexicalEntry id="cmnwn-lex21360">
      <Lemma writtenForm="基金" partOfSpeech="n"/>
      <Sense id="cmnwn-lex21360--13356985-n" synset="cmnwn-13356985-n"></Sense>
      <Sense id="cmnwn-lex21360--13358549-n" synset="cmnwn-13358549-n"></Sense>
</LexicalEntry>

If I would like to find an example like in Chinese, word A is a hypernym of word B, how should I achieve that?

This prints word, hypernym, word's ili and hypernym's ili.

>>> for ss in wn.synsets(lexicon='cmnwn:1.3+omw'):
...   for h in ss.hypernyms():
...     for sl in ss.lemmas():
...       for hl in h.lemmas():
...         print(sl, hl, ss.ili, h.ili, sep='\t')

Hi @fcbond,

I have finished the Chinese docs translation, but I am not sure about the translation of relation names, I find it hard to make them both meaningful and easy to understand, So just take it as a first version.

I will help to maintain it if there are new updates in relations or better translation of the names in the future.

The commit has a conflict, do I need to make a new pull request on that?
