WordNet is a powerful lexical reference system that combines aspects of
|
|
dictionaries and thesauri with current psycholinguistic theories of
|
|
human lexical memory. It is produced by the Cognitive Science Laboratory
|
|
at Princeton University, under the direction of Professor George Miller.
|
|
|
|
In WordNet, words are defined and grouped into various related sets of
|
|
synonyms. Not only is the system valuable to the casual user as a
|
|
powerful thesaurus and dictionary, but also to the researcher as one of
|
|
the few freely available, lexical databases. WordNet is available via an
|
|
on-line interface and also as easy-to-compile C source code for Unix.
