Wordnet Topics

This page provides documentation for the coarse classification originally used by the Princeton Wordnet to divide senses up. We call them topics, they are originally called lexicographic file names and have also been called semantic fields and super-senses.

In Princeton Wordnet, at the top level, nouns are organized into 25 beginner "trees" for nouns and 15 for verbs (called lexicographic files). All are linked to a unique beginner synset, "entity". Noun hierarchies are far deeper than verb hierarchies. Adjectives are not organized into hierarchical trees. Instead, two "central" antonyms such as "hot" and "cold" form binary poles, while 'satellite' synonyms such as "steaming" and "chilly" connect to their respective poles via a "similarity" relations. The adjectives can be visualized in this way as "dumbbells" rather than as "trees".
