Dictionary and Thesaurus
Description
The WordNet Dictionary
and Thesaurus is a large lexical database of English with up to 140,000 entries
and more than 1.4 million words, developed by the Cognitive Science Laboratory
at Princeton University.
Instead of following the standard dictionary format, the WordNet dictionary is
organized with an innovative and convenient approach. Nouns, verbs, adjectives
and adverbs are grouped into sets of cognitive synonyms, interlinked by means
of conceptual-semantic and lexical relations. In addition to the
straightforward definition the dictionary shows how each word is linked to
other words in terms of synonyms, opposites and similar words, but also
hyponyms and hyperlinks within the group.
Features:
* Straightforward and precise definitions of over 140,000 words with more than
250,000 links and 1.4 million words.
* Synonyms, antonyms, similar and related words to help you make your writing
and speech more interesting.
* Hypernyms (more generic words), hyponyms (subordinate words) and meronyms
(part names)
* Examples illustrate how words are used and show typical constructions and
collocations.
* Quick dynamic search of words while you type
* Hyperlinks between different related words
* History lists of visited words
The dictionary is powered by the MSDict dictionary engine, offering best
experience in mobile reference.
