Abstract

Multiple cross language WordNets such as Euro WordNet (EWN), Multi WordNet, Asian WordNet and Indo WordNet, have been developed that involve mapping Princeton WordNet (PWN) with the respective language WordNet [1,2,3,4,5]. Majority of these projects have employed the transfer-and-merge method developed during the construction of Euro WordNet for WordNet linkage. This paper discusses the process, challenges and results of linking CLE Urdu WordNet , to the Princeton WordNet Version 2.1 from a linguistic and lexicographic perspective. Based on the synset alignment experience, cross language (Urdu – English) linkage issues have been highlighted followed by a contextual strategy for the resolution. Urdu language concepts that could not be aligned with the PWN 2.1 are also highlighted and discussed.
