2 one main dictionary (95000 entries) one main dictionary (95000 entries) two annex dictionaries two annex dictionaries one for proper nouns one for proper nouns one for noun-adjectives one for noun-adjectives Russian Module for NooJ: design and implementation of lexical and grammatical ressources

3 How ? How ? -by adding tags to the general dictionary -by writing grammars Semantic Tagging or Annotation ? Russian Module for NooJ: design and implementation of basic semantic ressources

4 Writing semantic resources for the Russian language The semantic tags of the Russian national Corpus: Taxonomy (a lexeme's thematic class) – for nouns, verbs, adjectives and adverbs. Mereology (part – whole and element – aggregate relationships) – for concrete and abstract nouns Topology – for concrete names Causation – for verbs Evaluation – for abstract and concrete nouns, adjectives and adverbs
