Title

Relationships in thesauri : some critical remarks

Source

International classification. 15(1988), S.133-138

Year

1988

Abstract

After reviewing some fundamental distinctions in relationships (paradigmatic/sytagmatic, interconceptual/ structural) the author proposes a functional approach for investigating the relationships in thesauri. The comparison between three closely related types of semantic fields (lexical, conceptual, thesaural) shows the specific function of relationships in all of these intellectual tools. In information retrieval the two main functions are location of relevant concepts and search of exhaustivity. a clear distinction of these aims can contribute to solving the difficult problem of the choice of 'related terms'. It is suggested that their usefulness relies upon empirical rather than upon semantic proximity. Some practical propositions are amde for the choice and display of relationships in thesauri
