pointer types

exception WN_Not_found

exception - not found in the Wordnet database

type wordType

The word type - refers to a word form and the meanings it represents

type senseType

The sense type - refers to a meaning and the word forms it represents

--------The following are operations on the wordType----------

val isDefined : string -> posType -> bool

check if the pos is applicable for the word form

val getWord : string -> posType -> wordType

get a word given the form and part of speech
Raises WN_Not_found if word form not found

val getWordForm : wordType -> string

get a wordform given the word

val getSenses : wordType -> senseType list

get a list of senses for the word

val getWordPtrs : wordType -> ptrType list

get a list of all pointers that the word has in all senses that contain it

val numTagged : wordType -> int

get the number of senses of word that have been tagged in semantic concordance texts

val getPos : wordType -> posType

get the pos for this word

val isEqualWord : wordType -> wordType -> bool

compare two words for equality

val printWord : wordType -> unit

print details of the word

--------The following are operations on the senseType----------

val getGloss : senseType -> string

get the gloss (description) for this sense

val getPosType : senseType -> posType

get the pos type for this sense

val getWordForms : senseType -> string list

get the word forms mapping to this sense

val getSensePtrs : senseType -> (ptrType * posType * string) list

get all pointers - each pointer has a pos, and a word form for that sense to which the pointer applies For semantic relations, the word is ""

val getPtrSense : ptrType -> senseType -> senseType list

get the senses pointed to by the pointer

val getPtrWordSense : string -> ptrType -> senseType -> senseType list

get the senses pointed to by the pointer for lexical relations for word form

val getWordSenseCount : string -> senseType -> int

how many times has this sense for the word been tagged in concordance texts

val getVerbFrames : string -> senseType -> string list

for verbs, given word and sense, get example frames

val isEqualSense : senseType -> senseType -> bool

compare two senses for equality

val printSense : senseType -> unit

print details of the sense

--------The following are word morphology functions----------

val morph : string -> posType -> string

morphs the word form to its base form

--------The following are utilities------------

val getVersion : unit -> string

get the version of this api
