Resum
In this paper, we investigate the relation between negated adjectives and antonyms in English using Distributional Semantics methods. Results show that, on the basis of contexts of use, a negated adjective (e.g., not cold) is typically more similar to the adjective itself (cold) than to its antonym (hot); such effect is less strong for antonyms derived by affixation (e.g., happy - unhappy). In questo lavoro, analizziamo la relazione fra aggettivi negati e antonimi in inglese utilizzando metodi di Semantica Distribuzionale. I risultati mostrano che, sulla base dei contesti di uso, la negazione di un aggettivo (ad es. “not cold”; it.: “non freddo”) e tipicamente ` piu simile all’aggettivo stesso (“cold”; it.: ` “freddo”) che al suo antonimo (“hot”; it.: “caldo”). Tale effetto e meno accentuato ` per antonimi derivati tramite affissi (ad es. “happy”-“unhappy”; it.: “felice”- “infelice”).Descripció
