setDict: Set Default Dictionary

In wordnet: WordNet Interface

Set Default Dictionary

Description

The package wordnet tries to locate a valid WordNet installation on start up by investigating the WNHOME environment variable and by trying default installation locations. On success it acquires a pointer to the actual WordNet dictionary and stores internally a reference to the dictionary instance. However, if this procedure does not work automatically in your environment, you can provide the path to the WordNet installation and set the internal default reference via this function.

Usage

setDict(pathData)

Arguments

pathData

Path to the WordNet data files.

Value

A dictionary instance.
