Abstract
Knowing about language evolution can significantly help to reveal lost information and help access documents containing language that has long since been forgotten. In this position paper we will report on our methods for finding word senses and show how these can be used to reveal important information about their evolution over time. We discuss the weaknesses of current approaches and outline future work to overcome these weaknesses.
