Wordnet for Polish

WordNet for Polish (PlWN) is a lexical-semantic network that is structured along the same lines as the Princeton WordNet (lexical reference system) and the EuroWordNet.

In a wordnet, which is basically a semantic network, the different lexical categories of words (nouns, verbs,..) are organised into 'synsets' (sets of synonyms). Each synset represents a lexical concept and they can be linked by different types of relation (hyperonymy, antonymy, etc.). For obvious reasons, all wordnets resort to the same system of synset identification.

Target size: 15,000-25,000 units.
It is built semi-automatically; lexical relations are automatically extracted from the IPI-PAN corpus (U-W 0058) and suggested to lexicographers.

The project is funded by the Polish Ministry of Science and Higher Education.

WordNet is a basic resource for computational linguistics purposes and language engineering applications (machine translation, IE, WSD, knowledge representation, etc.).
