Abstract

The paper describes a new tool Derivancze, which provides an information on derivational relations between Czech words. After a summary of linguistic descriptions of Czech derivation we present a structure of our data and types of derivational relations we use. We compare our approach and results with Czech lexical network DeriNet, in particular, we discuss many differences between the two approaches. Our tool presently works with Czech data only, but the solution is general and can be used also for other languages.

This work was supported by the Ministry of Education of CR within the Lindat Clarin Center.
