Background Learning about the sound structure of language requires covering a lot of ground. Some of the key topics are the anatomy, physiology, and acoustics of the human vocal tract; the nomenclature for the vocal articulations and sounds used in speech, as represented by the International Phonetic Alphabet; hypotheses about the nature of phonological features and their organization into segments, syllables and words; the way that features like tone align and spread relative to consonants and vowels; the often-extreme changes in sound of morphemes in different contexts; the way that knowledge of language sound structure unfolds as children learn to speak; the variation in sound structure across dialects and across time. You can't learn all of this in a few days. The first goal is to put language sound structure in context. Apparent design features of human spoken language. About WordNet - WordNet - About WordNet.

About WordNet WordNet® is a large lexical database of English. Nouns, verbs, adjectives and adverbs are grouped into sets of cognitive synonyms (synsets), each expressing a distinct concept. Synsets are interlinked by means of conceptual-semantic and lexical relations. WordNet superficially resembles a thesaurus, in that it groups words together based on their meanings. Structure The main relation among words in WordNet is synonymy, as between the words shut and close or car and automobile.
