Abstract In the Generative Lexicon framework (Pustejovsky, 1995), some semantic properties of common nouns are expressed with the help of verbs. These noun-verb pairs are relevant in various domains, especially in Information Retrieval. Their corpus-based acquisition is thus an interesting issue; moreover discovering the contextual patterns in which these pairs can occur is also important in order to understand the Generative Lexicon model. This paper presents a fully automated technique that allows us to acquire from a corpus both noun-verb pairs, and semantic and morpho-syntactic patterns. This technique combines two acquisition approaches--the statistical one and the symbolic one--and keeps advantages of each approach: robustness and automation of statistical methods, quality of the results and expressiveness of symbolic ones.
