    Abstract

    We present a method for grouping the synonyms of a lemma according to its
    dictionary senses. The senses are defined by a large machine readable
    dictionary for French, the TLFi (Tr\'esor de la langue fran\c{c}aise
    informatis\'e) and the synonyms are given by 5 synonym dictionaries (also for
    French). To evaluate the proposed method, we manually constructed a gold
    standard where for each (word, definition) pair and given the set of synonyms
    defined for that word by the 5 synonym dictionaries, 4 lexicographers specified
    the set of synonyms they judge adequate.
