Project description:

Wordnet is the biggest Polish wordnet. A wordnet is a semanticnetwork, whose nodes are lexical units, while threads connectingthe whole - semantic relations between lexical units. Thosesemantic relations are for instance

hypernymy/hyponymy = a relation which links a word of a moregeneral meaning (kot – 'cat') with a word of a more specificmeaning (tygrys – 'tiger') (every tiger belongs to the felinefamily); meronymy/holonymy = a relation denoting a part and awhole, e.g. zderzak - 'bumper' – samochód - 'car' (cars havebumpers); antonymy - a relation of the semantic opposition, e.g.wejść – 'enter' – wyjść - 'leave', żonaty – 'married' – kawaler-'bachelor' (a detailed list of lexical relations is given here[link]. Lexical units which enter the same lexico-semanticrelations (but not the same derivational relations) are treated assynonyms and linked into synsets that is synonym sets.

The first ever wordnet (WordNet) was built in 1980s at PrincetonUniversity. Since that time hundreds of research teams have startedthe construction of wordnets for different languages, and amongthem our Languages Technologies Research Group G.4.19 at WrocławUniversity of Technology. In 2009 the first version of plWordNetwas made available on the Internet. Similarly to its predecessor –Princeton WordNet – the current 2.0 version of plWordNet isavailable on the open licence
