20.500.12556/RUL-176621 Up to no good exploiting word embeddings for an automatic extraction of candidates for a lexicon of Slovene taboo language We present an approach to extracting candidates to be included in an open-access lexicon of Slovene taboo language by using word embeddings compiled from different Slovene corpora and a set of offensive and pejorative seed lexemes from the Thesaurus of Modern Slovene 2.0. While many studies on taboo language rely on surveys to collect data on taboo language and its use, our evaluation shows that the method with embeddings provides a good starting point for the compilation of a more comprehensive and empirically grounded taboo language lexicon. We describe the datasets used in the experiment, the process of extraction and its results, as well as the advantages and disadvantages of this method. From a set of approximately 120 Slovene seed lexemes, the initial analysis of extracted candidates resulted in 1,260 relevant lexemes. We briefly discuss potential future steps in the development of the lexicon in the context of other machine-readable Slovene language resources, such as the Digital Dictionary Database of Slovene. The extraction method is language-independent and can be directly applied to other languages. taboo language automatic extraction embeddings Slovene tabujevsko besedišče strojno luščenje vložitve korpusi slovenščina true false true Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Drugo 2025-12-05 12:36:39 2025-12-05 12:36:39 2025-12-23 03:55:12 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2025 0 0 Str. 203-222 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova NiDoloceno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 81'322 2533-5626 258417411 258410499 RAZ_Cibej_Jaka_2025.pdf RAZ_Cibej_Jaka_2025.pdf 1 6773230F4764F129D0CAA201F4F3F83D 5e8cb2624c3022a25e823eae3c32799ca6d736708d0c499fdee7fd7af0aa96d8 192230ef-d1cf-11f0-9328-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=223078 Fakulteta za računalništvo in informatiko Filozofska fakulteta 0 0 0
