Abstract:

This paper presents a catalogue of lexical patterns in Spanish for extracting semi-automatically concepts linked by the part-whole relation in the ceramics subject area. These lexical patterns have been obtained from the analysis of a corpus of texts about ceramics in which the linguistic structures linking terms related by the part-whole relation have been identified. These linguistic structures have been classified and their canonical form has been obtained in order to create pattern candidates. Finally, the precision of these patterns has been measured.
