| Abstract | Particular uses of PNs with sense extension are focussed on and inspectedtaking into account the presence of PNs in lexical semantic databases andelectronic corpora.Methodology to select ad include PNs in semantic databases is described; theuse of PNs in corpora of Italian Language is examined and evaluated, analyzingthe behaviour of a set of PNs in different periods of time.Computational resources can facilitate our study in this field in an effectiveway by helping codify, translate and handle particular cases of polysemy, butalso guiding in metaphorical and metonymic sense recognition, supported by theontological classification of the lexical semantic entities.The relationship between the “abstract” and the “concrete”, which is atthe basis of the Conceptual Metaphor perspective, can be considered strictlyrelated to the variation of the ontological values found in our analysis of thePNs and their belonging classes which are codified in the ItalWordNet database. |
