Computer Processing of Lan- oped a lexical semantic representation system E-HowNet which is a frame-based entity-
guages relation model to de ne lexical senses (concepts).

● Editor, Language & Linguistics The major features of E-HowNet are:

guistics and Chinese Language concepts and conceptual relations.
Processing (1996 - 2004)
b. Uniform sense representation for content words, function words and phrases.
● 2nd term president, The Compu-
tational Linguistic and Chinese c. Semantic relations are explicitly expressed.
Language Processing Society d. Semantic composition and decomposition capabilities.
(ROCLING) (1991 - 1993)
e. Near-canonical representations for lexical senses and phrasal senses.
The above features serve for the purpose of semantic composition and natural language
understanding. Currently we apply the E-HowNet semantic information on Chinese parsing and the derivation of semantic and syntactic
properties of general compounds. We hope that the ultimate goal of natural language understanding will be accomplished after future
improvement and evolution of the current E-HowNet and our knowledge-based parser.
