using all_synsets function in open multilingual wordnet

[ali alk]

Hello

Is it possible to go through all synsets using the function all_synsets in OMW, if yes HOW?

Thank you

[Hosein Rezaei]

I need something like all_synsets(lang='fas')

[Dimitriadis, A. (Alexis)]

In wordnet, a "synset" represents a meaning, and is in principle language-independent. All synsets have English-based names, but are linked to lemmas in multiple languages. You can get a list of all *lemmas* for a particular language, e.g. Farsi, with wn.words(lang="fas")

Depending on what you are after, you could collect all synsets for which there is at least one Farsi lemma like this:

all_farsi_synsets = set(s for lemma in wn.words(lang="fas") for s in wn.synsets(lemma, lang="fas"))

As a side-note, it seems that there are some problems (i.e., bugs) with the mapping: Some of the synsets you will find in this way do not link back to a Farsi lemma. 

Best,

Alexis
