Two types of semantic similarity are usually distinguished: attributional and relational similari- ties. These similarities measure the degree between words or word pairs. Attributional similar- ities are bidrectional, while relational similarities are one-directional. It is possible to compute such similarities based on the occurrences of words in actual sentences. Inside sentences, syn- tagmatic associations and paradigmatic associations can be used to characterize the relations between words or word pairs. In this paper, we propose a vector space model built from syn- tagmatic and paradigmatic associations to measure relational similarity between word pairs from the sentences contained in a small corpus. We conduct two experiments with different datasets: SemEval-2012 task 2, and 400 wo...
