Corpus analysis and conceptual relation patterns

The aim of this paper is to shed light on the notion of "conceptual relation pattern" via corpus analysis experiments. On the basis of this bottom-up approach, three main points are discussed. First the degree of dependency between conceptual relation pattern and corpus is discussed. This dependency may range from insignificant to complete; it may also be linked to corpus genre. Then, the limits of purely binary conception of relations are examined through the description of patterns taking into account argument structure. Finally, an example in which application may influence patterns choice is presented. Some generally admitted classical assumptions are discussed and revisited by presenting empirical results.
