Lexical selection is the task of choosing, given several source-language (SL) translations with the same part-of-speech (POS), the most adequate translation among them in the target language (TL). The task is related to the task of word-sense disambiguation. The difference is that its aim is to find the most adequate translation, not the most adequate sense. Thus, it is not necessary to choose between a series of fine-grained senses if all these senses result in the same final translation.
