Abstract
In this paper we propose a mixed method for Word Sense Disambiguation, which combines lexical knowledge from EuroWordNet with corpora. The method tries to give a partial solution to the problem of the gap between lexicon and corpus by means of the approximation of the corpus to the lexicon. On the basis of the interaction that holds in natural language between the syntagmatic and the paradigmatic axes, we extract from corpus implicit information of paradigmatic type. On the information thus obtained we work with the information, also paradigmatic, contained in EWN. We evaluate the method and interpret the results.
