Can someone help me to figure out why the output shows only one sense and not other senses of a particular word?
ReplyDeleteEg: wordnet tall -attra shows the output as:
1 of 4 senses of tall
Sense 1
tall (vs. short)
=> stature, height
Why are the attributes of other senses not shown. Please help me out.
