Description

WordNet is a lexical database for the English language developed by Princeton University. It groups English words into sets of synonyms (called synsets), providing short definitions and usage examples. WordNet links words and phrases to other words and phrases with similar meaning, making it an invaluable resource for the English language. WordNet can be used to look up the meanings of words, and to find relationships between words, such as synonyms and antonyms. It can also be used to find related words, to find related concepts, and to study the structure of language. WordNet is available for free online, and can be accessed via a web browser, or through a number of software applications.
