| Description: | ELRA is happy to announce that 3 new WordNets and 1 new Sign Language database are now available in its catalogue: ELRA-M0048 LatinWordNet LatinWordNet contains information about the following aspects of the Latin and English lexicon: lexical relations between words, semantic relations between lexical concepts, correspondences between Latin and English lexical concepts. LatinWordNet covers nouns, verbs, adjectives and adverbs, and contains 8,978 synsets in correspondence with the English equivalents (and with all the MultiWordNet-based wordnets). For more information, see: http://catalog.elra.info/product_info.php?products_id=1098 ELRA-M0049 Basque WordNet The Basque WordNet models nouns, verbs and adjectives. Each sense is linked to a so-called synset (for a total of 30,281 Synsets). Every synset encodes the synonymy relation between (possibly) several words (synonyms), having a unique meaning, belonging to one and the same part of speech (specified in the POS tag value), and expressing the same lexical meaning. Each synset is related to the corresponding synset in the English WordNet 1.6. via its identification number ID, which includes the synset number and the POS tag. The only exceptions are newly created synsets to account for cultural concepts not present in WordNet 1.6. For more information, see: http://catalog.elra.info/product_info.php?products_id=1099 ELRA-M0050 The MWN.PT - MultiWordnet of Portuguese MWN.PT - MultiWordnet of Portuguese (version 1) spans over 17,200 manually validated concepts/synsets, linked under the semantic relations of hyponymy and hypernymy. These concepts are made of over 21,000 word senses/word forms and 16,000 lemmas from both European and American variants of Portuguese. They are aligned with the translationally equivalent concepts of the English Princeton WordNet and, transitively, of the MultiWordNets of Italian, Spanish, Hebrew, Romanian and Latin. For more information, see: http://catalog.elra.info/product_info.php?products_id=1101 ELRA-S0300 SIGNUM Database The SIGNUM Database contains both isolated and continuous utterances of various signers. The corpus was recorded on video. For quick random access to individual frames, each video clip is stored as a sequence of images. The vocabulary comprises 450 basic signs in German Sign Language (DGS) representing different word types. Based on this vocabulary, overall 780 sentences were constructed. Each sentence ranges from two to eleven signs in length. The entire corpus was performed once by 25 native signers of different sexes and ages. One of them was chosen to be the so-called reference signer. His performances were recorded three times.
