Large scale dictionaries such as wordnets are one of the important structures used in natural language processing. Wordnet is a comprehensive dictionary containing semantic relations including synonyms, antonyms, etc. In this paper, we try to extract Hypernym-Hyponym relations which are one of the main parts of WordNet. For this aim, we used Wikipedia, Contemporary Dictionary of Turkish and Wiktionary as corpora. We used Finite State Machines for developing several rules for Hypernym-Hyponym extraction.
