Project description

The main objective of the project was to construct a Polish WordNet as economically as possible.

Polish WordNet is a network of lexical-semantic relations, an electronic thesaurus with a structure modelled on that of the Princeton WordNet and those constructed in the EuroWordNet project. Polish WordNet describes the meaning of a lexical unit of one or more words by placing this unit in a network of links which represent such relations as synonymy, hypernyny, meronymy etc.

To reduce the cost of the project, Polish WordNet was built semi-automatically. Lexical relations were automatically recognized in large corpora of Polish, e.g., IPI PAN Corpus) and suggested to linguists/lexicographers via a graphical interface.
