Summary::

The attempt of this project is to develop a rich lexicon including all lexical semantics.

Details::

A lexicon is an essential language resource. It is the central repository of data for all language processing applications. It contains information for human consumption as well as computer programs. Lexicon can be used for several purposes including spell checkers, dictionary, and morphogical analysis for Bangla language. Lexicon can be extracted systematically from corpus since it is considered a source of all words. But due to the unavailability of a complete Bangla corpus, the process of automatic lexicon development did not go too far. This project aims different methods to manually build up a lexicon, which is essentially a list of all words in the language and tag the words sufficiently with features such as word meaning, Parts-Of- Speech (POS) and all other grammatical features.
