WordNet詞網研究3——之檔案結構
1.WordNet詞彙統計資訊
Number of words, synsets, and senses——詞、詞集和詞義對的數目POS Unique Synsets Total Strings Word-Sense Pairs Noun 117798 82115 146312 Verb 11529 13767 25047 Adjective 21479 18156 30002 Adverb 4481 3621 5580 Totals 155287 117659 206941Polysemy information——多解釋詞的資料
POS 單意詞 多義詞 多義詞Words and Senses Words Senses Noun 101863 15935 44449 Verb 6277 5252 18770 Adjective 16503 4976 14399 Adverb 3748 733 1832 Totals 128391 26896 79450POS Average Polysemy Average Polysemy Including Monosemous Words Excluding Monosemous Words Noun 1.24 2.79 Verb 2.17 3.57 Adjective 1.40 2.71 Adverb 1.25 2.50
2.Windows版本安裝後的結構
其中bin檔案夾是存放WordNet運行系統程式,dict為存放電子詞典資料庫(這個目錄很重要,以後使用WordNet資源基本上就這個),doc為WordNet的使用者手冊檔案檔案夾,lib為WordNet軟體使用Windows資源的函數庫,src為眾所周知的源碼檔案夾。你也可以使用改源碼修改編譯你想要的功能。
為:dict檔案夾的檔案目錄,從幾個index檔案裡可以看出,WordNet確實是分了名詞、動詞、形容詞和副詞及其詞義幾個子網。
3.WordNet內建軟體運行介面
顯然,這樣子來使用WordNet只是相當於一個電子詞典的功能。不過可以通過軟體介面上noun或者verb按鈕來點擊產生一個可選菜單,如:
如,通過選擇選擇“love”的父類,即love is a kind of ……
則,就會在每一種含義相中列出其love的所有的父類,如:
love -- (a strong positive emotion of regard and affection; "his love for his work"; "children need a lot of love")
=> emotion -- (any strong feeling)
=> feeling -- (the experiencing of affective and emotional states; "she had a feeling of euphoria"; "he had terrible feelings of guilt"; "I disliked him and the feeling was mutual")
=> state -- (the way something is with respect to its main attributes; "the current state of knowledge"; "his state of health"; "in a weak financial state")
=> attribute -- (an abstraction belonging to or characteristic of an entity)
=> abstraction -- (a general concept formed by extracting common features from specific examples)
=> abstract entity -- (an entity that exists only abstractly)
=> entity -- (that which is perceived or known or inferred to have its own distinct existence (living or nonliving))
即如果從樹根向上時,應該是:
entity——>abstract entity——>abstraction——>attribute——>state——>feeling——> emotion——>love;
實體——>抽象實體——>抽象概念——>概念屬性——>心情——>感受——>情緒——>愛;
可以看出名詞的root節點為entity。
如何使用WordNet軟體,將會在下一步研究中,進行詳細探索、研究。
