Irish Language Semantic Network

The LSG is a lexical-semantic network that is structured along the same lines as the Princeton WordNet (lexical reference system). LSG stands for Líonra Séimeantach na Gaeilge (Irish Language Semantic Network in English).

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.

Statistics for the LSG: 32,742 synsets, 36,262 headwords and 77,596 individual word senses.

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