This report summarizes the lexical relations recognized in a variety of sources. In addition, we claim that lexical relations themselves form not a class but a taxonomy, with a rich hierarchical structure. We present the outlines of this taxonomy, organize relations identified in a number of works under the taxonomy, and then give a condensed report of over 100 relations derived from the compendium, organized by their hierarchical status.application/pdfenIn CopyrightTechnical reportTR-89-06http://eprints.cs.vt.edu/archive/00000143/01/TR-89-06.pdf
