This course is given as part of the NLP masters program at Université de Lorraine and taught by Denis Paperno and Timothee Mickus. It presents the main types of syntactic and semantic lexical resources (such as VerbNet, WordNet, etc.). The course gives students practical experience working with lexical databases, multilingual resources, word embeddings and psycholinguistic data. The course builds on the basic lexicological concepts introduced in the CE "Lexicology: lexical units and phraseology" (UE804).
