Abstract

This paper reports ongoing research on near synonym extraction. The aim of our work is to identify the near synonyms of multiword terms related to an electro domestic product domain. The state of the art approaches for identification of single word synonyms are based on distributional methods. We analyzed for this method different sizes and types of contexts, from a collection of Spanish reviews and from the Web. We present some results and discuss the relations found.
