wordnet_ts

The Open English Wordnet with methods for using their relations, implemented in TypeScript.

How to use

import lib and initialize (Deno)

//import { Wordnet } from "https://deno.land/x/wordnet_ts/mod.ts";
import { Wordnet } from "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/hviana/wordnet_ts/main/mod.ts";
const wordnet = new Wordnet();
await wordnet.init(); //will download the database if it does not exist.
const w = wordnet.logic(); //get logic functions

This library depends on another logical processing library:

import { and, lvar, run } from "https://deno.land/x/logic_ts/mod.ts";

Examples

Synsets of a lemma "dark"

const y = lvar("y");
const synsets = run([y], w.lemmas(y, "dark"));
console.log(synsets);

Lemmas of a synset 105976849

const lemmas = run([y], w.lemmas(105976849, y));

Synset pos of a synset 105976849

const pos = run([y], w.pos(105976849, y));

Synset definition of a synset 105976849

const definition = run([y], w.definition(105976849, y));

Synsets related to the synset 105976849

const links = run([y], w.links(105976849, lvar(), y));

Synsets related to the synsets of the lemma "dark"

const links = run([y], () => {
  const z = lvar();
  return and(
    () => w.lemmas(z, "dark"),
    () => w.links(z, lvar(), y), //Arrow notation is needed to delay execution and calculate variables
  );
});

All Synsets lemmas that are antonyms of synsets that contain the "dark" lemma

const antonyms = run([y], () => {
  const z = lvar();
  const zy = lvar();
  return and(
    () => w.lemmas(z, "dark"),
    () => w.links(z, lvar(), zy, "antonym"),
    () => w.lemmas(zy, y),
  );
});

About Wordnet relations

Words that are synonyms into synsets. All synsets are connected to other synsets by means of semantic relations:

Nouns

• hypernyms: Y is a hypernym of X if every X is a (kind of) Y (canine is a hypernym of dog)
• hyponyms: Y is a hyponym of X if every Y is a (kind of) X (dog is a hyponym of canine)
• coordinate terms: Y is a coordinate term of X if X and Y share a hypernym (wolf is a coordinate term of dog, and dog is a coordinate term of wolf)
• meronym: Y is a meronym of X if Y is a part of X (window is a meronym of building)
• holonym: Y is a holonym of X if X is a part of Y (building is a holonym of window)

Verbs

• hypernym: the verb Y is a hypernym of the verb X if the activity X is a (kind of) Y (to perceive is an hypernym of to listen)
• troponym: the verb Y is a troponym of the verb X if the activity Y is doing X in some manner (to lisp is a troponym of to talk)
• entailment: the verb Y is entailed by X if by doing X you must be doing Y (to sleep is entailed by to snore)
• coordinate terms: those verbs sharing a common hypernym (to lisp and to yell)
