cntlist

CNTLIST(5)						      WordNettm File Formats							CNTLIST(5)

NAME

       cntlist - file listing number of times each tagged sense occurs in a semantic concordance, sorted most to least frequently tagged

       cntlist.rev - file listing number of times each tagged sense occurs in a semantic concordance, sorted by sense key

DESCRIPTION

       A  cntlist file for a semantic concordance lists the number of times each semantically tagged sense occurs in the concordance and its sense
       number in the WordNet database.	Each line in the file corresponds to a sense in the WordNet database to which at least	one  semantic  tag
       points.	Only senses that are tagged in a concordance are in the concordance's cntlist file.

   WordNet Database cntlist File
       In  the WordNet database, words are assigned sense numbers based on frequency of use in semantically tagged corpora.  The cntlist file used
       by grind(1) to build the WordNet database and assign the sense numbers is a union of the cntlist files from the	various  semantic  concor-
       dances  that  were formerly released by Princeton University.  This combined cntlist file is provided with the WordNet package and is found
       in the WNSEARCHDIR directory.

       The cntlist.rev file is used at run-time by the WordNet library code and browser interfaces to print in the output display  the	number	of
       times each sense has been tagged.

   File Format
       Each  line  in  a  cntlist  file  contains information for one sense.  The file is ordered from most to least frequently tagged sense.  The
       fields are separated by one space, and each line is terminated with a newline character.  Senses having the same tag_cnt value  are  listed
       in reverse alphabetical order of the lemma field of the sense_key.

       Each line in cntlist is of the form:

	      tag_cnt  sense_key  sense_number

       where  tag_cnt  is the decimal number of times the sense is tagged in the corresponding semantic concordance.  sense_key is a WordNet sense
       encoding and sense_number is a WordNet sense number as described in

       The cntlist.rev file contains the same fields described above, in the following order:

	      sense_key  sense_number  tag_cnt

NOTES

       Princeton no longer maintains or releases the Semantic Concordance files.  The cntlist file used to order the senses  in  WordNet  3.0  was
       generated  from the Semantic Concordance files at the point that they were last updated in 2001.  In general, the order of senses presented
       usually reflects what the user would expect, however sense ordering is now less reliable than in prior releases and should not be construed
       as an accurate indicator of frequency of use.

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES (UNIX)
       WNHOME		   Base directory for WordNet.	Default is /usr/local/WordNet-3.0.

       WNSEARCHDIR	   Directory in which the WordNet database has been installed.	Default is WNHOME/dict.

REGISTRY (WINDOWS)
       HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREWordNet3.0WNHome
			   Base directory for WordNet.	Default is C:Program FilesWordNet3.0.

       HKEY_CURRENT_USERSOFTWAREWordNet3.0wnres
			   User's default browser options.

FILES

       cntlist, cntlist.rev
			   file of combined semantic concordance cntlist files.  Used to assign sense numbers in WordNet database
