Abstract

In this paper we research the lexical affinity between words. Our goal is to define a distance measure which corresponds with the semantic affinity between words. This measure is based on WordNet, where two words/concepts can be connected by a string of stepwise synonyms. The number of hops defines the distance between words. In addition we present a natural language processing toolbox, developed in the course of this work, that combines a number of existing tools and adds a number of analysis tools.
