Résumé
This work tests the use of word similarity lists for anaphora resolution in Portuguese and French corpora. We applied an automaticlexical acquisition technique over parsed texts to identify semantically similar words. We then made use of this lexical knowledge toresolve coreferential definite descriptions where the head noun of the anaphor is different from the head noun of its antecedent, whichwe call indirect anaphora. We compare the results in both languages with a baseline algorithm. Our proposed technique achieved an Fmeasureof 0.26 for Portuguese and 0.09 for French.
