Abstract

The work which will be presented in this paper is related to the building of an ontology of domain for the Arabic linguistics. We propose an approach of automatic construction that is using statistical techniques to extract elements of ontology from Arabic texts. Among these techniques we use two; the first is the "repeated segment" to identify the relevant terms that denote the concepts associated with the domain and the second is the "co-occurrence" to link these new concepts extracted to the ontology by hierarchical or non- hierarchical relations. The processing is done on a corpus of Arabic texts formed and prepared in advance.
