  19. Translational Issues • There are many cases that a gloss need to be expressed in a phrase or explanation, especially in the case of technical terms and scientific vocabulary. Ex. ChaperonPOS NounSynset chaperon, chaperoneGloss one who accompanies and supervises a young woman or gatherings of young people Thai ผู้ตามควบคุมหญิงสาว • These concepts are not general for Thai language The 5th International Conference of the Global WordNet Association (GWC-2010), Mumbai, India.

  20. Translational Issues (cont.) • A gloss can be expressed by two or more Thai words. These words have the core meaning but occur in different context. Should it be divided into more specific concept? Ex. Appear POS Verb Synset appear, come out Gloss be issued or published; "Did your latest book appear yet?"; "The new Woody Allen film hasn’t come out yet” Thai T1 = ตีพิมพ์;T2 = ออกฉาย • T1 occurs in the context of printed matter • T2 occurs in the context of film or movie The 5th International Conference of the Global WordNet Association (GWC-2010), Mumbai, India.
