Word Association Thesaurus As a Resource for Building WordNet
Anna Sinopalnikova · 2004
The goal of the present paper is to report on the on-going research for applying psycholinguistic resources to building a WordNet-like lexicon of the Russian language. We are to survey different kinds of the linguistic data that can be extracted from a Word Association Thesaurus, a resource representing the results of a large- scaled free association test. In addition, we will give a comparison of Word Association Thesaurus and other language resources applied to wordnet constructing (e.g. text corpora, explanatory dictionaries) from the viewpoint of the quality and quantity of information they supply the researcher with.
