CNTLIST(5WN)		     WordNettm File Formats		    CNTLIST(5WN)

NAME
     cntlist - file listing number of times each tagged sense occurs in a seman-
     tic concordance, sorted most to least frequently tagged

     cntlist.rev  -  file  listing number of times each tagged sense occurs in a
     semantic concordance, sorted by sense key

DESCRIPTION
     A cntlist file for a semantic concordance lists the number  of  times  each
     semantically tagged sense occurs in the concordance and its sense number in
     the  WordNet database.  Each line in the file corresponds to a sense in the
     WordNet database to which at least one semantic tag  points.   Only  senses
     that are tagged in a concordance are in the concordance's cntlist file.

   WordNet Database cntlist File
     In  the  WordNet  database,  words are assigned sense numbers based on fre-
     quency of use in semantically tagged corpora.  The  cntlist  file	used  by
     grind(1WN)  to build the WordNet database and assign the sense numbers is a
     union of the cntlist files from the various semantic concordances that were
     formerly released by Princeton University.  This combined cntlist	file  is
     provided  with  the  WordNet package and is found in the WNSEARCHDIR direc-
     tory.

     The cntlist.rev file is used at run-time by the WordNet  library  code  and
     browser  interfaces to print in the output display the number of times each
     sense has been tagged.

   File Format
     Each line in a cntlist file contains information for one sense.   The  file
     is ordered from most to least frequently tagged sense.  The fields are sep-
     arated  by one space, and each line is terminated with a newline character.
     Senses having the same tag_cnt value are listed in reverse alphabetical or-
     der of the lemma field of the sense_key.

     Each line in cntlist is of the form:

	    tag_cnt  sense_key	sense_number

     where tag_cnt is the decimal number of times the sense  is  tagged  in  the
     corresponding  semantic concordance.  sense_key is a WordNet sense encoding
     and sense_number is a WordNet sense number as described in

     The cntlist.rev file contains the same fields described above, in the  fol-
     lowing order:

	    sense_key  sense_number  tag_cnt

NOTES
     Princeton	no  longer maintains or releases the Semantic Concordance files.
     The cntlist file used to order the senses in WordNet 3.0 was generated from
     the Semantic Concordance files at the point that they were last updated  in
     2001.   In general, the order of senses presented usually reflects what the
     user would expect, however sense ordering is  now	less  reliable	than  in
     prior releases and should not be construed as an accurate indicator of fre-
     quency of use.
