NLTK corpus: Find the sets of synonyms and antonyms of a given word

NLTK corpus: Exercise-7 with Solution

Write a Python NLTK program to find the sets of synonyms and antonyms of a given word.

From Wikipedia,
WordNet is a lexical database for the English language. It groups English words into sets of synonyms called synsets, provides short definitions and usage examples, and records a number of relations among these synonym sets or their members.

Sample Solution:

Python Code :

from nltk.corpus import wordnet
synonyms = []
antonyms = []

for syn in wordnet.synsets("end"):
    for l in syn.lemmas():
        synonyms.append(l.name())
        if l.antonyms():
            antonyms.append(l.antonyms()[0].name())
print("\nSet of synonyms of the said word:")
print(set(synonyms))
print("\nSet of antonyms of the said word:")
print(set(antonyms))

Sample Output:

Defination of the said word:
a hostile meeting of opposing military forces in the course of a war

Examples of the word in use::
['Grant won a decisive victory in the battle of Chickamauga', 'he lost his romantic ideas about war when he got into a real engagement']

Python: Tips of the Day

Find current directory and file's directory:

To get the full path to the directory a Python file is contained in, write this in that file:

import os 
dir_path = os.path.dirname(os.path.realpath(__file__))

(Note that the incantation above won't work if you've already used os.chdir() to change your current working directory, since the value of the __file__ constant is relative to the current working directory and is not changed by an os.chdir() call.)

To get the current working directory use

import os
cwd = os.getcwd()

Documentation references for the modules, constants and functions used above:

  • The os and os.path modules.
  • The __file__ constant
  • os.path.realpath(path) (returns "the canonical path of the specified filename, eliminating any symbolic links encountered in the path")
  • os.path.dirname(path) (returns "the directory name of pathname path")
  • os.getcwd() (returns "a string representing the current working directory")
  • os.chdir(path) ("change the current working directory to path")
