Language Graph synonym annotations

The following annotations can be applied to individual sensekeys within a synset. Not all sensekeys need to have an annotation. More than one annotation can be applied to a sensekey (for example, turnip_head/N1 is both idiomatic and derogatory).

Slang

Used for slang sensekeys that are ambiguous. For example, pad/N6, meaning lodging is a slang term that is ambiguous, given the many other meanings of the word 'pad'.
Regional Used for sensekeys that are particular to a certain region. For example, flat/N7, which means 'apartment' in the UK.
Archaic Used for sensekeys that are no longer in current English usage. For example, sooth/N1 or stripling/N1.
Technical Used for sensekeys that have a technical meaning that is relatively infrequent, and only likely to occur in a given topical context *and* for which the word or words that it is made of are likely to mean something else in most contexts. For example, lake/N3 which is a colourant/pigment and it only likely to occur in very specific contexts, in this case, fine_art/N1. Synsets with technical sensekeys in them should always have a category link to the category that describes the context in which they occur.
Vulgar Used for vulgar sensekeys. For example, bang/V5 (synonym of have_sex_with/V1).
Unlikely Used in two separate cases: a) senses of lemmas that are infrequent relative to other senses of that lemma b) sense keys that are infrequent relative to their synonyms or hypernyms.
Idiomatic Used for figures of speech and sayings. Examples: on_the_tip_of_PPRON_tongue/D1, have_a_sinking_feeling/V1.
Derogatory Used for derogatory sensekeys.
No Paraphrase Used for sensekeys that will not be used to generate a paraphrase.
