TLDR
A heuristic algorithm for detection of the indirect antecedents for dialogue phrases based on the use of a dictionary of prototypic scenarios associated with each headword as well as of a thesaurus of the standard type is presented.
Abstract
Resolution of referential ambiguity is one of the most challenging problems of natural language processing. Especially frequently it is faced within dialogues. We present a heuristic algorithm for detection of the indirect antecedents for dialogue phrases based on the use of a dictionary of prototypic scenarios associated with each headword as well as of a thesaurus of the standard type. The conditions for filtration of the candidates for the antecedent are presented. We also present a similar algorithm for reconstruction of elliptical phrases of a special kind using a combinatory dictionary.

Stable coordinated Pairs in text processing

TL;DR: It is argued that a dictionary of SCPs of the given language supplied with their characteristics of lexical, morphological, syntactic, semantic, and pragmatic nature can help in such important natural language processing tasks and applications as word sense disambiguation, parsing, as well as detection and correction of semantic errors.

A very large dictionary with paradigmatic, syntagmatic, and paronymic links between entries

TL;DR: A very large Russian dictionary is described, which contains currently 3.6 million links between its 120,000 entries, which are syntagmatic (collocations), paradigmatic (WordNet-like), or paronymic (words similar in letters or in morphs).

Lexical cohesion computed by thesaural relations as an indicator of the structure of text

TL;DR: Since the lexical chains are computable, and exist in non-domain-specific text, they provide a valuable indicator of text structure, and provide a semantic context for interpreting words, concepts, and sentences.

Lexical chains as representations of context for the detection and correction of malapropisms

TL;DR: How lexical chains can be constructed by means of WordNet, and how they can be applied in one particularlinguistic task: the detection and correction of malapropisms is shown.

TL;DR: Evaluation of the results of the implementation demonstrates that accurate anaphora resolution can be realized within natural language processing frameworks which do not---or cannot--- employ robust and reliable parsing components.
