Historically, English became established as the language used and understood by the scientific community and, consequently, most resources were developed for it, including large-scale computational lexicons like WordNet (Fellbaum, 1998) and sensetagged corpora like SemCor (Miller et al., 1993).
wSD in other languages was hindered by a lack of resources, which in turn led to poor results or low involvement on the part of the research community (Magnini et al., 2004;Màrquez et al., 2004;Orhan et al., 2007;Okumura et al., 2010).
