We address the task of bootstrapping a semantic lexicon from a list of seed terms and a
large corpus. By restricting to a small subset of semantically strong patterns, ie,
coordinations, we improve results significantly. We show that the restriction to coordinations
has several additional benefits, such as improved extraction of multiword expressions, and
the possibility to scale up previous efforts.
