  We present an experiment in extracting adjectives which express a specific
semantic relation using word embeddings. The results of the experiment are then
thoroughly analysed and categorised into groups of adjectives exhibiting formal
or semantic similarity. The experiment and analysis are performed for English
and Croatian in the domain of karstology using data sets and methods developed
in the TermFrame project. The main original contributions of the article are
twofold: firstly, proposing a new and promising method of extracting
semantically related words relevant for terminology, and secondly, providing a
detailed evaluation of the output so that we gain a better understanding of the
domain-specific semantic structures on the one hand and the types of
similarities extracted by word embeddings on the other.
