Lingua::JA::WordNet - Perl OO interface to Japanese WordNet database

SYNOPSIS

use Lingua::JA::WordNet;

my $wn = Lingua::JA::WordNet->new;
my @synsets = $wn->Synset('相撲');
my @hypes   = $wn->Rel($synsets[0], 'hype');
my @words   = $wn->Word($hypes[0]);

print "$words[0]\n";
# -> レスリング

# Synonym method can access to Japanese WordNet Synonyms Database.
my $wordID   = $wn->WordID('ねんねこ', 'n');
my @synonyms = $wn->Synonym($wordID);

print "@synonyms\n";
# -> お休み ねね スリープ 就眠 御休み 眠り 睡り 睡眠

DESCRIPTION

Japanese WordNet is a semantic dictionary of Japanese. Lingua::JA::WordNet is yet another Perl module to look up entries in Japanese WordNet.

The original Perl module is WordNet::Multi. WordNet::Multi is awkward to use and no longer maintained. Because of this, I uploaded this module.

METHODS

$wn = new($db_path) or new(%config)

Creates a new Lingua::JA::WordNet instance.

my $wn = Lingua::JA::WordNet->new(
    data        => $db_path, # default is File::ShareDir::dist_file('Lingua-JA-WordNet', 'wnjpn-1.1_and_synonyms-1.0.db')
    enable_utf8 => 1,        # default is 0 (see sqlite_unicode attribute of DBD::SQLite)
    verbose     => 0,        # default is 0 (all warnings are ignored)
);

The data must be Japanese WordNet and English WordNet in an SQLite3 database.

@words = $wn->Word( $synset [, $lang] )

Returns the words corresponding to $synset and $lang.

@synsets = $wn->Synset( $word [, $lang] )

Returns the synsets corresponding to $word and $lang.

@synsets = $wn->SynPos( $word, $pos [, $lang] )

Returns the synsets corresponding to $word, $pos and $lang.

$pos = $wn->Pos($synset)

Returns the part of speech of $synset.

@synsets = $wn->Rel($synset, $rel)

Returns the relational synsets corresponding to $synset and $rel.

@defs = $wn->Def( $synset [, $lang] )

Returns the definition sentences corresponding to $synset and $lang.

@exs = $wn->Ex( $synset [, $lang] )

Returns the example sentences corresponding to $synset and $lang,

$allsynsets_arrayref = $wn->AllSynsets()

Returns all synsets.

$wordID = $wn->WordID( $word, $pos [, $lang] )

Returns the word ID corresponding to $word, $pos and $lang.

@synonyms = $wn->Synonym($wordID)

Returns the synonyms of $wordID.

This method works only under the bundled Japanese WordNet database file.

LANGUAGES

$lang can take 'jpn' or 'eng'. The default value is 'jpn'.

PARTS OF SPEECH

$pos can take the left side values of the following table.

a|adjective
r|adverb
n|noun
v|verb
a|形容詞
r|副詞
n|名詞
v|動詞

This is the result of the SQL query 'SELECT pos, def FROM pos_def'.

RELATIONS
