Natural Language Processing Techniques

In this paper we describe how the existing monolingual Serbian corpus, the bilingual Serbian/English (S/E) and Serbian/French (S/F) aligned corpora, and the appropriate morphological e-dictionaries, have been used in validation, development, and refinement of Serbian WordNet. The influence of different derivational processes, e.g. derivation of augmentatives/diminutives and possessive adjectives from nouns, to the structure of Serbian synsets is examined. A part of the experimental results that justify the applied approach is given.
