Brazilian Portuguese Wordnet
The Brazilian Portuguese wordnet (Wordnet.Br) 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.

Statistics: 44,000 lexical units and 18,500 synsets.
The wordnet for Brazilian Portuguese is still under construction. This research is sponsored by CNPq-Brasília and FAPESP-São Paulo.

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