syn is a zero dependency R package that
lists synonyms and antonyms.
There are two main functions:
syn("great") Returns synonyms of “great”ant("great") Returns antonyms of “great”.syn and ant take one word as input. To
return synonyms for many words, use the plural form:
syns, and
ants
syns(c("great", "excellent") Returns named list of
synonyms of “great”, and “excellent”ants(c("great", "excellent") Returns named list of
antonyms of “great”, and “excellent”The syn function returns all synonyms for a given
word:
Let’s look at synonyms for “cool”:
library(syn)
syn_cool <- syn("cool")
head(syn_cool)
#> [1] "abate" "abnegation" "above all that" "absolute zero"
#> [5] "abstinence" "ace-high"
tail(syn_cool)
#> [1] "withhold" "without nerves" "wizard" "wonderless"
#> [5] "wonderlessness" "zealless"Wow, there are a lot! How many are there?
length(syn_cool)
#> [1] 618Wow! There are 618 synonyms for cool. That’s…unharmonious, I guess.
You can also provide it a number of words to return with the
n_words argument, which will randomly select the number of
words given
syn("awesome", 1)
#> [1] "immeasurable"
syn("awesome", 2)
#> [1] "horrible" "outsize"
syn("awesome", 5)
#> [1] "wonderful" "tremendous" "fell" "grim" "ineffable"OK cool, let’s use these in a sentence, using the glue
package. Which of these better?
glue::glue("This is really cool!")
#> This is really cool!
glue::glue("This is really {syn('cool', 1)}!")
#> This is really pacifism!
glue::glue("This is really {syn('cool', 10)}!")
#> This is really solidity!
#> This is really inhospitable!
#> This is really govern!
#> This is really hold back!
#> This is really self-absorbed!
#> This is really freezing point!
#> This is really bad!
#> This is really unruffled!
#> This is really snub!
#> This is really juste-milieu!synsYou can generate synonyms for multiple words with the
syns function. This takes a vector of words, returning a
named list
syns_good_evil <- syns(c("good", "evil"))
str(syns_good_evil)
#> List of 2
#> $ good: chr [1:667] "able to pay" "absolutely" "acceptable" "accomplished" ...
#> $ evil: chr [1:365] "aberrant" "abnormal" "abominable" "abomination" ...You can also provide n_words for syns, and
it will return a random selection of the words of that number.
syns(c("good", "evil"),
n_words = 10)
#> $good
#> [1] "wicked" "saintly" "sufficient for" "merit"
#> [5] "bon" "respected" "worthy" "chattels"
#> [9] "unpretending" "omnipotent"
#>
#> $evil
#> [1] "villainy" "of evil portent" "catastrophic" "mischievous"
#> [5] "dark" "nefarious" "revolting" "unspeakable"
#> [9] "misfortune" "pest"To create antonyms, use ant and ants, which
have the same inputs as syn. However, at this stage, the
number of antonyms available for use by ant is small.
ant("good")
#> [1] "bad" "evil"
ant("good",1)
#> [1] "evil"
ant("strong")
#> [1] "weak"ants(c("good", "evil"))
#> $good
#> [1] "bad" "evil"
#>
#> $evil
#> [1] "good"
ants(c("good", "evil"), n_words = 5)
#> $good
#> [1] "evil" "bad"
#>
#> $evil
#> [1] "good"
ants(c("strong", "weak"))
#> $strong
#> [1] "weak"
#>
#> $weak
#> [1] "strong"Let’s say that you want to filter something down to those synonyms
that only contain one word. You can use the n_words
argument, which calculates the number of words for each
syn_end <- syn("end")
n_words(syn_end)
