Mapping Syntactic Dependencies onto Semantic Relations

This paper presents a corpus-based method for extracting semantic relations between words. The method is based on two sequential procedures. First, it automatically classifies syntactic dependencies according to their selection restrictions. Those dependencies that require the same selection restrictions are put together into the same semantic group. Then, interpretation rules are applied on the classified syntactic dependencies, in order to learn the specific semantic relations underlying syntactically related words.
