This paper presents PAPEL, a lexical resource for Portuguese, consisting of relations between terms, extracted by (semi) automatic means from a general language dictionary. An overview on the construction process is given, the included relations are presented and a quantitative vision is provided together with some examples. Synonymy relations were evaluated using a thesaurus as a golden standard and the other relations were rendered to natural language patterns and searched for in a corpus. The results of the evaluation are shown and discussed.
