Abstract

This paper describes an exploration of the implicit synonymy relationship expressed by synonym lists in an on-line thesaurus. A series of automatic steps was taken to properly constrain this relationship. The resulting groupings of semantically related word senses are believed to constitute a useful tool for natural language processing and for work in lexicography.
