WordNet is an on-line lexical reference system whose design is inspired by current psycholinguistic theories of human lexical memory. English nouns, verbs, and adjectives are organized into synonym sets, each representing one underlying lexical concept. Different relations link the synonym sets.
* Preparation of these five papers was supported in part by contract N00014-86-K-0492 with the Office of Naval Research and in part by a grant from the James S. McDonnell Foundation. The work on WordNet was done in collaboration with Amalia Bachman, Marie Bienkowski, Patrick Byrnes, Roger Chaffin, George Collier, Michael Colon, Melanie Cook, Fiona Cowie, Brian Gustafson, P. N. Johnson–Laird, Yana Kane, Judy Kegl, Benjamin Martin, Elana Messer, Antonio Romero, Daniel Teibel, Anton Vishio, Pamela Wakefield, and Benjamin Wilkes.
