ABSTRACT

A method of constructing a network of related words(nouns) is proposed. We start with discussing the significance of relatedness of words as a kind of lexical relation. Related nouns are nouns "somehow (felt) related" and proposed to be found by acquiring nouns occurring in the same paragraph to a significant degree. The degree of co-occurrence is measured by t-score, which is a widely used method for calculating the degree of collocation. The networks of related words(nouns) are themselves the networks of things and concepts denoted by the words. Therefore, by this method we can understand features of culture in the society, a language community. The data is based on morpho-semantic analysis component of Sejong Korean Corpora. Network representation is provided by means of Pajek, a popular network analysis tool.
