The paper discusses the process of automatic extraction of paraphrases used in rewriting. The researchers propose the method for extracting paraphrases from English news text corpora. The method is based on both the developed syntactic rules to define phrases and synsets to identify synonymous words in the designed text corpus of BBC news. In order to implement the method, Natural Language Toolkit, Universal Dependencies parser and WordNet are used.
