Abstract

The aim of a lexical description constrains its form and even its content. For this, in
spite of Portuguese lexical description presenting an advanced stage in what concerns lexical resources for native speakers, there are challenging gaps in lexical resources for foreign learners and for computational use. Under this assumption, this paper discusses the need of lexical description for the specific purpose of automatic processing of Portuguese. The aim is to inspire lexical research
that meets the growing demand of such area. The ideas are presented in a simple way in order to make the reading accessible to linguistic researchers unfamiliar with natural language processing.
