Verification　of　hyponymy　relations　is　a　basic　problem　in　knowledge　acquisition.　We　present　a　method　of　hyponymy　verification　based　on　concept　space.　Firstly,　we　give　the　definition　of　concept　space　about　a　group　of　candidate　hyponymy　relations.　Secondly　we　analyze　the　concept　space　and　define　a　set　of　hyponymy　features　based　on　the　space　structure.　Then　we　use　them　to　verify　candidate　hyponymy　relations.　Experimental　results　show　that　the　method　can　provide　adequate　verification　of　hyponymy.　©　2009　Springer-Verlag.
