Hi Sebastien,

> Thank you very much for the information about WordNet. But I don't
know if I can use the very useful linguistic information provided by
WordNet to create my own lexicons. In fact, I need to have, in a txt
file, simple lists such :

> >>>rose

program Macros with WordNet or to find another lexicon.

in a discurse in order to model prosody.

There are packages for the major scripting languages that allow you
access to WordNet, I personally use the python package. If you search
for that in the web, you'll find it. With the scripting languages you
can easilly create something what you have in mind.

If you install WordNet on Windows, you have the possibility to access
the functionality and the data easily in even VisualBasic.

best wishes
