A dictionary for the English language, which contains conceptual differences and example sentences.

Review by

Do you need an English dictionary on your PC? WordNet is a great dictionary
that you can have at your avail for any queries in search of synonyms, definitions and antonyms.

But it is not just any dictionary, its design arises from a semantic and conceptual relationship between the words it contains.

One of the features which differentiates WordNet from other dictionaries of synonyms, is its disambiguation that allows the difference between words which, although there seems to be a relationship between them, have different connotations.

It is classified into 4 grammatical categories because each one of the categories has different linguistic rules which are: adverbs, adjectives, verbs and nouns.    

In order for us to grasp and completely understand the definitions, WordNet includes example sentences in which the particular word is used. This dictionary has been created by the University of Princeton and has been funded extensively for its importance in the study of this language.

You can find a version of WordNet ready for download, which you can use to make your queries without being online or a    query version from the author's web, where you will always have all of your searches handy.
