Resumo


This paper outlines an “automatic strategy with post-editing” for specifying the Brazilian Portuguese WordNet (WordNet.Br) hierarchical lexical-conceptual relations (taxonomies and meronymies). It relies on a two-step analysis: (a) the computer-aided linking (lexical-conceptual alignment) of the WordNet.Br synsets to the their semantically equivalent ones in the Princeton WordNet; (b) the automatic transfer with post-editing of the relevant hierarchical relations spotted by the previous step.
