WordNet - Parts-Of-Speech required?

To figure out if the two words are SYNONYMS (SIMILAR_TO), do I need to find the Parts-Of-Speech for the two words first? Can I do this in a single 'operation' in the WordNet or will I have to loop through the senses first for each word?

Solution

  • Synsets are categorized according to the POS. So there is no way to avoid it.
