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

NAME
       cntlist	-  file	 listing number	of times each tagged sense occurs in a
       semantic	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  con-
       cordance'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 directory.

       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 separated by	one space, and each line is terminated with a  newline
       character.   Senses having the same tag_cnt value are listed in reverse
       alphabetical order 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  en-
       coding and sense_number is a WordNet sense number as described in

       The  cntlist.rev	 file contains the same	fields described above,	in the
       following 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	frequency of use.

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES (UNIX)
       WNHOME		   Base	 directory  for	 WordNet.  Default is /usr/lo-
			   cal/WordNet-3.0.

       WNSEARCHDIR	   Directory in	which the WordNet  database  has  been
			   installed.  Default is WNHOME/dict.

REGISTRY (WINDOWS)
       HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WordNet\3.0\WNHome
			   Base	 directory  for	 WordNet.   Default is C:\Pro-
			   gram	Files\WordNet\3.0.

       HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\WordNet\3.0\wnres
			   User's default browser options.

FILES
       cntlist,	cntlist.rev
			   file	 of  combined  semantic	 concordance   cntlist
			   files.   Used  to  assign  sense numbers in WordNet
			   database
