Building of a Lexicon of Denominal Adjectives

Publication at Faculty of Arts |

Abstract

After a brief linguistic analysis of French denominal adjectives, we describe the automatic technique based on large-scale lexicons and corpora that we developed for building a lexicon of regular denominal adjectives. We evaluate both the precision and coverage of the resulting derivational lexicon.

This freely available lexicon should eventually be fully manually validated and contain denominal adjectives with a suppletive base.
