How to get the wordnet sense frequency of a synset in NLTK?

Question

According to the documentation i can load a sense tagged corpus in nltk as such:

>>> from nltk.corpus import wordnet_ic
>>> brown_ic = word         


        

Answer 1

If you only need to know what the most frequent word is, you can do wn.synsets(word)[0] since WordNet generally ranks them from most frequent to least frequent.
