We study the global topology of the syntactic and semantic distributional similarity networks for English through the technique of spectral analysis. We observe that while the syntactic network has a hierarchical structure with strong communities and their mixtures, the semantic network has several tightly knit communities along with a large core without any such welldefined community structure.
REF constructed syntactic and semantic distributional similarity networks (DSNs), and analyzed their structural differences using spectral plots.
