WordNet® 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.
|
|
|
|
WordNet requires Tcl/Tk, which is included with Slackware 12.1.
|
|
|
|
Since this package does not install to the default location, the WordNet
|
|
browser (wnb) requires the enviornmental variable WNHOME=/usr to be set,
|
|
so that it can find the database files. To do this for bash, you can add
|
|
"export WNHOME=/usr" to the end of ~/.bashrc, without the quotes.
