SAT閱讀材料: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 , 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. WordNets structure makes it a useful tool for computational linguistics and natural language processing.
