Extraction of Attribute Concepts from Japanese Adjectives

ibe various syntactic and semantic conditions for finding abstract nouns which refer to concepts of adjectives from a text, in an attempt to explore the creation of a thesaurus from text. Depending on usages, six kinds of syntactic patterns are shown. In the syntactic ntic conditions an omission of an abstract noun is mainly used, but in addition, various linguistic clues are needed. We then compare our results with synsets of Japanese WordNet. From a viewpoint of Japanese WordNet, the degree of agreement of "Attribute" our data and Japanese WordNet was 22%. On the other hand, the total number of differences of obtained abstract nouns was 267. iewpoint of our data, the degree of agreement of abstract nouns between our data and Japanese WordNet was 54%.
