  This paper presents a lexical disambiguation system, initially developed for
English and now adapted to French. This system associates a word with its
meaning in a given context using electronic dictionaries as semantically
annotated corpora in order to extract semantic disambiguation rules. We
describe the rule extraction and application process as well as the evaluation
of the system. The results for French give us insight information on some
possible improvments of the nature and content of lexical resources adapted for
disambiguation in this framework.
