Uzupełnianie zasobu nazw żeńskich w Słowosieci – przypadek biskupki oraz innych nazw kobiet w życiu religijnym i instytucjach wyznaniowych
Addenda to the inventory of female names in Słowosieć: The case of biskupka ‘bishop-FEM’ and other female names in religious life and institutions

Summary/Abstract: Due to the dynamic social discussion and the observed increase in the use of feminatives, we deemed it appropriate to modify the current way of describing these units in the plWordNet. We present the newly introduced masculinity relation describing male forms derived from female ones, such as alternatywek ‘alternates’, where the base form is the female variant alternatywka. We also describe the method of densifying relations, which is driven by the need to improve the quality of NLP texts, where feminatives appear more frequently and for which plWordNet is utilized. Using the religious semantic fi eld as an example, we propose a description of parallel hyponym–hypernym trees connected by femininity and masculinity relations at the unit level. We also provide a concise corpus-based analysis using the unit biskupka ‘bishop-FEM’ as an example, justifying the necessity of constructing analogous relational structures, to the extent possible, to the biskup ‘bishop’ unit.
