            Abstract : 
Words cluster semantically together by commonly sharing semantic genes. By inheritance, recombination and variation of semantic genes, new words are produced. The semantics of adjective is composed of core semantic genes and attribute semantic genes. With these genes and the semantic composition formula, we can construct a semantic knowledge-base of adjectives accurately for NLP.
