WordNet(r) is a large lexical database of English, developed under
|
|
|
|
|
the direction of George A. Miller. Nouns, verbs, adjectives and
|
|
|
|
|
adverbs are grouped into sets of cognitive synonyms (synsets), each
|
|
|
|
|
expressing a distinct concept. Synsets are interlinked by means of
|
|
|
|
|
conceptual-semantic and lexical relations. The resulting network of
|
|
|
|
|
meaningfully related words and concepts can be navigated with the
|
|
|
|
|
browser. WordNet is also freely and publicly available for download.
|
|
|
|
|
WordNet's structure makes it a useful tool for computational
|
|
|
|
|
linguistics and natural language processing.
