Synonym dictionaries are lexicographical works that lists words that are close by sense, without defining them. Few are available online for French. Main ones are Dictionnaire Électronique des Synonymes (DES) from the University of Caen, Dictionnaire des synonymes français (ISC) from the Institute of cognitive sciences of CNRS and Wordnet Libre du Français (WOLF) developed by a team from the University of Paris 7. During the WikiConvention francophone in August, Arkanosis presented a workshop on datamining and he showed the efficiency of his method (grep + python) to build a synonym dictionary from the Wiktionary. From the technical side of his method, see the slides of his presentation. Data obtained are shown on the right.
