Building a computerized An Organization for a Dictionary of Word Senses dictionary for the purpose, they soon became concerned with the arbitariness and the proliferation of target \"senses\", as taken from standard desk dictionaries. They argue, with persuasive examples, that what lexicographers conventionally distinguish as separate senses of a word are often just applications of the word's underlying concept to different contexts. To cover the various contexts, the underlying concept has to be stretched a little, by a process of metaphoric extension. This metaphoric process is beyond our present power to computerize, but for 'the long run looks indispensable for successful language processing. Meanwhile, the authors advocate a dictionary which records for each word as few discrete senses as practicable, combining into one scnsc all the usages which can reasonably be united by a common underlying thougl~t.",
