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. + + |
