5 Conclusions
</SectionTitle>
    <Paragraph position="0"> We have (mt.lin&lt;'d a method for autonlatic lexieal ae(luisilion. An existing lexicon built on the usage of i)rolotypica\] entries for l)aradigms of opemela.ss words, is ext.end~'d b 5 infi~rring new lexical entries fl'OIII texts containing Dnkl/own words. The COllstraints placed on these words by the gramnlar arc compared with the prototypes and a hypothesis is made al)ouI what paradigm the word is most likely to l)olong to.</Paragraph>
    <Paragraph position="1"> The hy\]lotheses ai)otlt, the ilnknown words are kept+ m an interim lexicon until a suflicient level of confidence is reached. Phrase templat&lt;~s are both hand-cod&lt;+d aud extracted front the grammar and donlaiu-spt!citic texts using an explanation-based h,arning method.</Paragraph>
