5 Conclusion
</SectionTitle>
    <Paragraph position="0"> We contend that using lexical semantic methods to guide lexical knowledge acquisition from corpora can yield structured thesaurus-like information in a form amenable for use within information retrieval applications. The work reported here, though preliminary, illustrates the applicability of this approach for several important cla.sses of nominals. Future. work im:ludes refining the discovery !)rocevlures to reduce misses and false alarms and extending the coverage of the lexical semantics component to allow the testing of such t.echniques on a greater range of terms. Finally, we intend to at&gt;ply the resulls of the analysis within an experimental infonualion retrieval system to test their effectiveness as indexing and retrieval aids.</Paragraph>
