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 contains a large database index.sense which is not necessary for normal operation of the wordnet package but is useful when using the WordNet::QueryData module which is available at http://search.cpan.org/dist/WordNet-QueryData/ .
