Abstract:
The wordnet-style lexicography has imposed itself as one of the most representative and useful method for the organization of lexical knowledge, both from the human user’s and the computational perspective. In this article we present the Romanian wordnet: methodology, content, up-to-date statistics. We lay special emphasis on the latest activity carried on in its almost twelve-year ceaseless development, namely the addition of morphologic and semantic links between pairs of words of the type root word – derived word. In our undertaking we followed two different approaches: a language-internal one and a transfer one. Adding such relations in our wordnet leads to the increase in the density of semantic and of lexical relations, thus making the resource more appropriate for various applications.
