DeriNet: Lexical Network of Derivational Word-Formation Relations in Czech

Publication

Abstract

The lexical network DeriNet captures core word-formation relations on the set of around 266 thousand Czech lexemes. The network is currently limited to derivational relations because derivation is the most frequent and most productive word-formation process in Czech.

This limitation is reflected in the architecture of the network: each lexeme is allowed to be linked up with just a single base word; composition as well as combined processes (composition with derivation) are thus not included.
