WordNet is a large lexical database of English with up to 140,000
entries and more than 1.4 million words, developed by the Cognitive
Science Laboratory at Princeton University.
Instead of following the standard dictionary format, the WordNet
dictionary is organized with an innovative and convenient approach.
Nouns, verbs, adjectives and adverbs are grouped into sets of cognitive
synonyms, interlinked by means of conceptual-semantic and lexical
relations. In addition to the straightforward definition the dictionary
shows how each word is linked to other words in terms of synonyms,
opposites and similar words, but also hyponyms and hyperlinks within the
group.
The resulting network of meaningfully related words and concepts:
* helps you to better understand the word meanings,
* facilitates the quick finding of the correct meaning,
* allows you to quickly memorize words.
