Wordnet (JWI)：获取单词的例句

Question

I'm trying to implement the Lesk Algorithm for word sense disambiguation using Wordnet and it's Java API JWI. One of the steps requires to build a bag of words from the gloss and example sentences of the target word. I can easily get the gloss from the method getGloss() in class ISynset, but I don't see a method to get the example sentences. I'm sure I'm missing something obvious since JWI is described as "full-featured" on wordnet's site, but i can't find anything useful in the documentation or the internet. How do I get those sentences?

Answer 1

It may not be there. Examples are attached to synsets (eg they are a sibling function to getting lemmas and definitions in the NLTK API), but the 2.4.0 JWI docs for synset only have functions for getGloss() and getWords() .

(If it turns out there is a way to get them from JWI, can someone leave me a comment, and I'll then delete this answer.)
