  abstract      = {A word-to-word similarity function automatically extracted from a corpus of texts can be a very helpful tool in automatic extraction of lexical semantic relations. There are many approaches for English, but only few for inflective languages with almost free word order. In the paper a method for the construction of a similarity function of Polish nouns is proposed. The method uses only simple tools for language processing (e.g.\ it does need the application of a parser). The core is the construction of a matrix of co-occurrences of nouns and adjectives on the basis of application of morpho-syntactic constraints testing agreement between an adjective and a noun. Several methods of transformation of the matrix and calculation of the similarity function are presented. The achieved accuracy of 81.04\% in WordNet-based Synonymy Test (for 4~611 Polish nouns, using the current version of Polish WordNet) seems to be comparable with the best results reported for English.}
