Abstract
In this paper we present the results of a quantitative evaluation of the discrepancies between the Italian and English lexica in terms of lexical gaps.

Unlike EuroWordNet, MultiWordNet preserves most of the semantic relations available in the Princeton WordNet. The quantitative evaluation of the English-to-Italian lexical gaps shows that the English and Italian lexica are highly comparable and give empirical support to the MultiWordNet modelFile in questo prodotto:
