Thus, we might expect that distributional generality is correlated with semantic generality -a word has high recall/low precision retrieval of its hyponyms' co-occurrences and high precision/low recall retrieval of its hypernyms' co-occurrences.
if n 1 and n 2 are related and P(n 2 , n 1 ) > R(n 2 , n 1 ), we might expect that n 2 is a hyponym of n 1 and vice versa.
