Get A Full List Of All Hyponyms

Is there any way I can get a full list of hyponyms related to a single word? relative = wordnet.synsets('relative', pos='n')[0] hyponyms = ([lemma.name() for synset in relativ

Solution 1:

Use the Synset.closure() function:

from nltk.corpus import wordnet as wn

relative = wn.synsets('relative', 'n')[0]
hypos = lambda s:s.hyponyms()

print(list(relative.closure(hypos)))
