Natural languages contain much lexical ambiguity. The text automatonNatural languages contain much lexical ambiguity. The text automaton is an effective and visual way of representing such ambiguity. Each sentence of a text is represented by an automaton whose paths represent all possible interpretations. The text automaton explicit all possible lexical interpretations of the words. These different interpretations are the different entries presented in the dictionary of the text.... is an effective and

The text automatonNatural languages contain much lexical ambiguity. The text automaton is an effective and visual way of representing such ambiguity. Each sentence of a text is represented by an automaton whose paths represent all possible interpretations. The text automaton explicit all possible lexical interpretations of the words. These different interpretations are the different entries presented in the dictionary of the text.... explicit all possible lexical interpretations of the words. These different
interpretations are the different entries presented in the dictionary of the text. Figure 7.1
shows the automaton of the fourth sentence of the text Ivanhoe.
You can see in Figure 7.1 that the word Here has three interpretations here (adjective, adverb
and noun), haunted two (adjective and verb), etc. All the possible combinations are
expressed because each interpretation of each word is connected to all the interpretations of
the following and preceding words.
