Description-en: electronic lexical database of English language for dict
WordNet(C) is an on-line lexical reference system whose design is
inspired by current psycholinguistic theories of human lexical
memory. English nouns, verbs, adjectives and adverbs are organized
into synonym sets, each representing one underlying lexical
concept. Different relations link the synonym sets.
.
WordNet was developed by the Cognitive Science Laboratory at Princeton
University under the direction of Professor George A. Miller (Principal
Investigator).
.
This package will be of limited use without the server found in the
dictd package.
