CONCLUSION
</SectionTitle>
    <Paragraph position="0"> The current work uses thesaurus category associations gathered from an on-line encyclopedia to make analyses of compound nouns. An initial study of the syntactic disambiguation of 244 compound nouns has shown promising results, with an accuracy of 75%.</Paragraph>
    <Paragraph position="1"> Several enhancements are planned along with an experiment on human subjects to establish a performance target for systems based on static semantic analyses. The extension to semantic interpretation of compounds is the next step and represents promising unexplored territory for corpus statistics.</Paragraph>
