Description

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.

Message after installing

For the GUI word-browser ``wnb'' to function, Tk-8.6 must
	be installed. This dependency is not automatic, because there
	are plenty of uses for WordNet on servers without X11.

	The command-line utility ``wn'', for example, requires only Tcl.
