LEXICAL-SEMANTIC ARCHITECTURE OF MODERN WORDNET SYSTEMS

This article presents a scholarly analysis of the WordNet model and the lexical-semantic networks developedon an international scale. The study first examines the conceptual framework of Princeton WordNet, which is basedon psycholinguistic principles and structured through synsets, glosses, and semantic relations. It further explores thearchitecture, functional characteristics, and role of WordNet versions 2.1 and 3.1 in natural language processing (NLP)tasks. National systems such as RuWordNet, Japanese WordNet, Korean WordNet, and Turkish WordNet are analyzedusing comparative statistical indicators, and the mechanisms of their integration into the general WordNet paradigmare identified. The article also highlights the global significance of WordNet in the development of multilingual semanticnetworks and its functional potential as a linguistic and computational resource
