Ko Seok-Ju. 2007. A Study on Korean Wordnet and Meaning Description in Dictionary. Korean Semantics, 24. The purpose of this paper is to suggest a point to be considered on constructing the Korean Wordnet, especially using a meaning description in Korean dictionary and, on describing the meaning of a word in dictionary. For this purpose, first I examine the conceptual structure of human nouns in Corenet and the defintions of human nouns in Standard Korean Grand Dictionary. And I indicate some problems in Corenet and the definitions of human nouns. Lastly, I present some points to be considered to construct Korean Wordnet and the definition of a word in dictionary.

Kim Jin-hae. 2007. The Information of Related Words and Description Based on the Lexical Semantic Relations for <The Korean Pyojun(standard) Dictionary>, Korean Semantics, 24. This paper explores some problems for lexical relationship of ‘The Korean Pyojun(standard) Dictionary(P-Dic)’ on the foundation of the lexical semantic networks. Through this research, we insist that the P-Dic wasn't established on the foundation of systematic lexical relations. For the systematic description, macroscopically We propose a reduction in the lexical entries. Microscopically we have to descript the lexical entries that we can specify the informations in detail. And we propose to permit the redundancy between relational words used to a dictionary definition and relational words used on the relational information division. In addition, we have to define the lexical semantic relations more broaden. The lexical semantic networks are based on the differential theory. Therefore the P-Dic based on the constructive theory that constructed the definitions must to change the essential philosophy into the differential theory.

Lee, Dong-hyeok. 2007. A Construction of Semantic Category System and its Application to Dictionary. Korean Semantics 24. The purpose of this paper is to explain how to construct a system of semantic categories to use Korean dictionary effectively. In order to establish and systematize semantic categories, it should be decide what the goal of constructing the semantic categories is. Meanings can be categorized based on an objective ontology, or on subjective human experiences. It is possible to assign an ontological category and a semantic class to a lexeme at once. Most Korean language dictionaries don’t have sufficient semantic category information, as well as their information isn’t systematic. Above all, the aim of dictionary is to learn the meaning of lexemes. When the aim of dictionary comes clear, it is possible to solve the problems above mentioned. In addition, it is necessary to supply satisfactory information of semantic categories to dictionary.
