Étude des manifestations de la relation de méronymie dans une ressource distributionnelle (Study of Meronymy in a Distribution-Based Lexical Resource) [in French]

Study of meronymy in a distribution-based lexical resource In this paper, we study the way meronymy behaves in a distribution-based lexical resource. We address the question of the evaluation of such resources through a semantic-based approach. Our method consists in collecting meronyms from a resource which we cross with a distributionbased lexical resource made from an encyclopedic corpus. Meronyms are then sub-categorized manually : firstly following the sub-relation they bear (STUFF/OBJECT, MEMBER/COLLECTION, etc.), then following the semantic class of their members. Results show that distributional analysis identifies meronymic relations in different proportions according to the semantic classes of the words involved in the meronymic pairs. MOTS-CLÉS : analyse distributionnelle, sémantique lexicale, méronymie, évaluation.
