<div>Hi Janus,</div> <div> </div> <div>Have you taken a look at WordNet? I can imagine that the semantic relations they show might help you with your project.</div> <div> </div> <div><A href="http://wordnet.princeton.edu/">http://wordnet.princeton.edu/</A></div> <div> </div> <div>Caroline Reul<BR><BR><B><I>louis janus <janus005@umn.edu></I></B> wrote:</div> <BLOCKQUOTE class=replbq style="PADDING-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; BORDER-LEFT: #1010ff 2px solid"><!-- Network content --> <DIV id=ygrp-text> <div>Dear list members,<BR><BR>I am writing a new dictionary for learners of <BR>Norwegian. One approach I will take is to offer <BR>lists (or actually computer draggable
scrollbars) <BR>showing various relationships among words in the <BR>dictionary. For example, I want to present the <BR>choice of words expressing size, from very tiny <BR>to gigantic (if it were English). Also I think <BR>showing the Norwegian words and expressions for <BR>time (parts of the day, yesterday, tomorrow, in a <BR>week, a week ago) with this kind of manipulable <BR>graphic would be very helpful for students. I've <BR>developed a 'timeline' of usual and significant <BR>life events (from birth, through baptism, school, <BR>marriage, retirement, death...) in Norwegian.<BR><BR>Now, in addition to giving away all my trade <BR>secrets :) , I wish to ask if anyone knows of <BR>printed (or computer?) lists in any language <BR>showing these kinds of relationships.<BR><BR>I am sorry I don't even know what I should call <BR>these relationships - I used "scalar" for lack <BR>knowledge of a better word.<BR><BR>Takk på forhånd -- thanks in advance.<BR><BR>Louis Janus<BR>--
