Classifying Adverbs based on an Existing Thesaurus using Corpus

چکیده
In this paper, we try the classification of adverbs. The method for classifying adverbs is not known well, compared with nouns or verbs. The difficulty comes from vagueness of the relation between adverbs and other words. Using a corpus and an existing thesaurus, we investigate the elements which play an important role in the classification of adverbs. We got experimental results which showed that verbs, auxiliary verbs and particles had a powerful ability to classify adverbs semantically.
