In the knowledge society, researchers on lexicography
recognize the need to advance in the structure of dictionary
information so that it can be understood by people and
computers. In relation with dictionary definitions, the
adoption of models or templates would be advantageous for
the generation of complete definitions and also for the
extraction of semantic information from them.
In this study, we manually analyzed specialized
dictionary definitions of the ceramic field belonging to the
conceptual groups of ceramic processes and ceramic defects
in order to identify the relevant conceptual features, such as
physical aspect or function, and the linguistic realization of
these features in the definitions.
Results can help to extract information from definitions
and to also generate formalized dictionary definitions
