Abstract

We present a framework, based on Sejane and Eger (2012), for inducing lexical semantic typologies for groups of languages. Our framework rests on lexical semantic association networks derived from encoding, via bilingual corpora, each language in a common reference language, the tertium comparationis, so that distances between languages can easily be determined.
