I want to do the following in Python (I have the NLTK library, but I'm not great with Python, so I've written the following in a weird pseudocode):
from nltk.corpus import wordnet as wn #Import the WordNet library
for each adjective as adj in wn #Get all adjectives from the wordnet dictionary
print adj & antonym #List all antonyms for each adjective
once list is complete then export to txt file
This is so I can generate a complete dictionary of antonyms for adjectives. I think it should be doable, but I don't know how to create the Python script. I'd like to do it in Python as that's the NLTK's native language.
from nltk.corpus import wordnet as wn
for i in wn.all_synsets():
if i.pos() in ['a', 's']: # If synset is adj or satelite-adj.
for j in i.lemmas(): # Iterating through lemmas for each synset.
if j.antonyms(): # If adj has antonym.
# Prints the adj-antonym pair.
print j.name(), j.antonyms()[0].name()
Note that there will be reverse duplicates.
