This book introduces and explains a computational model for lexical semantics based on semantic domains, a concept inspired by the theory of semantic fields and proposed in structural linguistics to explain lexical semantics. Semantic domains allow us to extract domain features for texts, terms and concepts, boosting the performance of natural-language processing systems. The authors introduce the computational model, with detailed chapters covering semantic domains, domain models, semantic domains in text categorization, semantic domains in WSD, and multilingual domain models. This book is suitable for researchers in computational linguistics.
