 + + + + +2003-04-12 +0.95.00 + + +2002 +2003 +Daniel Naber + + + + +&kthesaurus; lists words related to a given term and offers a user interface +to &wordnet;, a powerful lexical reference system. By default, only the +English language is supported. + + + + +KDE +thesaurus +WordNet +synonyms +dictionary +lexicon +English +words + + + + + + +The Thesaurus Tab + +The Thesaurus tab offers a small thesaurus, +built from a subset of &wordnet;. +The results are listed in three +categories: Synonyms, More General +Words (hypernyms), More Specific +Words (hyponyms). Synonyms are words with a very similar meaning. +They do not necessarily apply to all senses of each word, so you cannot +always replace a word with any synonym. + +You can double click on a word to search for its synonyms &etc;. +You can also type a word directly into the Search for: +box at the top and press +Return. The word which is currently visible in the +Replace with: box at the bottom is the one that will +be used if you click on Replace. + +&kthesaurus; can be used as a standalone application, but it can also be +used from other applications (like &kword;, typically by right clicking +on a word and selecting Show related words). +The Replace button will only be visible +on a word and selecting Show Related Words). +The Replace with: button will only be visible +if &kthesaurus; is called from another application. + +We have to keep the data file small so that it can be +included in &koffice; — this introduces several limitations +(compared to &wordnet;): + + +Only exact matches are found, ⪚ if you search for a plural +form nothing will be found. +Many not so common words have been removed. +It doesn't distinguish between parts of speech, e.g. verbs and +nouns are mixed up in the lists of words. +It won't separate the different meanings words can have. +Adjectives don't really have a more general / more specific +meaning, so one word may appear in more than one list at the same time. + + +On the other hand, a few words have been added (function words like if +and very few words specific to &kde;). + +Please do not report bugs in the thesaurus +to the &wordnet; project, but to &kde;. + + + + + +Using languages besides English + +By default, only the English language is supported +in &kthesaurus;. You can check out +the +KOffice download page to see which other languages +are available. + + + + + +The &wordnet; tab + +The &wordnet; tab provides a user interface +to a local installation of &wordnet; 1.7. +&wordnet; is an online lexical reference +system whose design is inspired by current psycholinguistic theories +of human lexical memory.
