How do I obtain synonyms?

In order to get all synonyms from a lemma, simply call instance.les_lemma_synonyms(LEMMA).
for example:

instance.les_lemma_synonyms('huis')
{'behuizing',
'bouw',
'bouwen',
'bouwwerk',
'constructie',
'familie',
'gebouw',
'geslacht',
'heem',
'home',
'honk',
'huis',
'huisje',
'hulsel',
'kas',
'maagschap',
'omhulsel',
'omkleedsel',
'pand',
'perceel',
'staak',
'stam',
'tak',
'tehuis',
'thuis',
'woning',
'woongelegenheid',
'woonhuis',
'woonruimte'}

In addition to that, we compiled a tsv synonyms file at: https://github.com/MartenPostma/OpenDutchWordnet/blob/master/synonyms.tsv

Thanks! But which specific script do I need to run to call "instance.les...."? I tried to call it using the les.py script among others (in the powershell) but this script does not seem to do the job. Which one should I use?

You first have to load the module as indicated in the README:

from OpenDutchWordnet import Wn_grid_parser

#please check the attribute LICENSE before using this module

print(Wn_grid_parser.LICENSE)

#the attribute 'odwn' stores the path to the most recent version

print(Wn_grid_parser.odwn)

#example of how to use module

instance = Wn_grid_parser(Wn_grid_parser.odwn)

then you can use this method. Although, it's only tested on Mac Os X and Linux. So no garanties there. That is why I create the synonym file to be on the safe side.

Thanks Marten, I tried and tried, but did not succeed in getting the module running (note, I guess it is wn_ instead of Wn_). However the synonym file does the trick.
