Introduction

In this tutorial we learn how to install wordnet on Fedora 34.

What is `wordnet`

WordNet is a large lexical database of English, developed under the direction of George A. Miller. Nouns, verbs, adjectives and adverbs are grouped into sets of cognitive synonyms (synsets), each expressing a distinct concept. Synsets are interlinked by means of conceptual-semantic and lexical relations. The resulting network of meaningfully related words and concepts can be navigated with the browser. WordNet is also freely and publicly available for download. WordNet’s structure makes it a useful tool for computational linguistics and natural language processing. wordnet 3.0 39.fc34 x86_64 8.0 M wordnet-3.0-39.fc34.src.rpm fedora A lexical database for the English language http MIT and GPLv2+ WordNet is a large lexical database of English, developed under the direction of George A.
