Comparison of Association Ratio in English and Polish Languages

This paper compares the results of using association ratio for a positional language, English, and for an inflexional language, Polish. The main goal is proposing a way for automatic or semi-automatic creation of a context database that would serve as a training or reference data for word disambiguation algorithms. Association ratio proves to be useful for this purpose. The tests show that the performance of the association ratio does not depend on a specific language.
