Abstract
This paper describes an automatic clustering strategy for acquiring both syntactic and semantic subcategorization restrictions from corpora. In order to test our method, preliminary experiments have been performed on a law-case Portuguese corpus. The acquired information is then used for lexicon upgrading and it is validated by a parsing diagnosis system.
