Disambiguation of Taxonomy Markers in Context: Russian Nouns

The paper presents experimental results on WSD, with focus on disambiguation of Russian nouns that refer to tangible objects and abstract notions. The body of contexts has been extracted from the Russian National Corpus (RNC). The tool used in our experi-ments is aimed at statistical processing and classification of noun contexts. The WSD procedure takes into account taxonomy markers of word meanings as well as lexical markers and morphological tagsets in the context. A set of experiments allows us to establish preferential conditions for WSD in Russian texts.
