Enrichment of a lexical network of Czech derived words by exploiting inflectional paradigms

Abstract

The paper deals with two main issues, each approaching the relation between derivational (sub-)paradigms (as discussed by Štekauer 2014) and inflectional paradigms from a different perspective. First, a recent enrichment of the DeriNet network is described which focused on words the derivation of which is accompanied by consonant and/or vowel alternations.

Second, inflectional features have been used as an important input for the semi-automatic task of semantic labelling of derivational relations in the DeriNet network.
