abstract:

The present paper discusses the nature of the lexical relation exploited in automatized, corpus-based, statistical explorations of word meaning. This relation captures and quantifies the distributional similarity of lexical items. For reasons presented in this paper, I call it the Distributional Compatibility Relation (DCR). I argue that DCR is a fuzzy relation and I compare it to selected lexical relations known from the linguistic literature to see if - and to what extent - their basic properties are similar
