This paper presents a method to understand spoken Tunisian dialect based on lexical semantic. This method takes into account the specificity of the Tunisian dialect which has no linguistic processing tools. This method is ontology-based which allows exploiting the ontological concepts for semantic annotation and ontological relations for speech interpretation. This combination increases the rate of comprehension and limits the dependence on linguistic resources. This paper also details the process of building the ontology used for annotation and interpretation of Tunisian dialect in the context of speech understanding in dialogue systems for restricted domain. تقدم هذه الورقة طريقة لفهم اللهجة التونسية المنطوقة بناءً على الدلالة المعجمية. تأخذ هذه الطريقة في الاعتبار خصوصية اللهجة التونسية التي لا تحتوي على أدوات معالجة لغوية. هذه الطريقة قائمة على الأنطولوجيا والتي تسمح باستغلال المفاهيم الأنطولوجية للتعليق التوضيحي الدلالي والعلاقات الأنطولوجية لتفسير الكلام. يزيد هذا المزيج من معدل الفهم ويحد من الاعتماد على الموارد اللغوية. كما تتناول هذه الورقة بالتفصيل عملية بناء الأنطولوجيا المستخدمة في شرح وتفسير اللهجة التونسية في سياق فهم الكلام في أنظمة الحوار للمجال المقيد.

This paper presents a method to understanding spoken Tunisian dialect based on lexical semantic. Cette méthode prend en compte la spécificité du dialecte tunisien qui n'a pas d'outils de traitement linguistique. Cette méthode est basée sur l'ontologie, qui exploite les concepts ontologiques pour l'annotation sémantique et les relations ontologiques pour l'interprétation du discours. Cette combinaison augmente le taux de compréhension et limite la dépendance aux ressources linguistiques.
