Abstract
We describe DériF, a rule-based morphosemantic analyzer developed for French. Unlike existing word segmentation tools, DériF provides derived and compound words with various sorts of semantic information: (1) a definition, computed from both the base meaning and the specificities of the morphological rule; (2) lexical-semantic features, inferred from general linguistic properties of derivation rules; (3) lexical relations (synonymy, (co-)hyponymy) with other, morphologically unrelated, words belonging to the same analyzed corpus.KeywordsNLPmorphosemantic approachrule-basedFrenchderivationneoclassical compoundinglexical-semantic featureneologismautomatic definitionsynonymyhyponymyco-hyponymy
