Abstract(in English) In lexical paraphrasing, which is the task of replacing a content word with some semantically equivalent expression in a given context, one of the most critical issue is how to acquire the large-scale knowledge about the fine-grained semantic equivalence between near-synonyms. In this paper, we explore how one could use the existing thesauri and the descriptions appearing in machine read-able dictionaries for humans for this purpose. The key idea is to extract the information about the fine-grained semantic difference between near-synonyms by matching their meaning descriptions. This paper presents a computational environment for developing nominal-paraphrase corpora, which would serve as the basis for our on-going research on paraphrasing, discussing several technical issues that have come up through our preliminary experiments.
