      Introduction     

      One of the primary tasks in the area of cognitive technologies is the automatic extraction of knowledge from natural language (NL) texts. It is a complex problem connected with developing linguistic processors which perform automatic formalization of texts, i.e. mapping the texts into formal models or knowledge structures. It should be noted that a lot of relevant information in NL texts is presented in a concealed form. This information is called implicit.  An example is the task of assigning certain features to persons on the basis of actions performed by them. In the subject area of “Criminology” it is assigning such features as “victim”, “suspect”, etc. to persons.   The methods of implicit information extraction should be considered in the context of the knowledge extraction task, and it is conditioned by the specific features of the linguistic processor. The given paper describes these methods within the framework of the object-oriented linguistic processor developed at the Institute for Informatics Problems of the Russian Academy of Sciences (IIPRAS).
