It is generally accepted, however, that WordNet senses are far too fine-grained (Agirre and Lopez de Lacalle Lekuona (2003) and citations therein).
published thesauri, such as Roget's and Macquarie, group near-synonymous and semantically related words into a relatively small number of categories-typically between 800 and 1100-that roughly correspond to very coarse concepts or senses (Yarowsky, 1992).
