Briefly,

  http://www.isi.edu/~hdaume/HWordNet/


HWordNet is a Haskell binding to the WordNet database. You will actually
need to have WordNet installed to use the Haskell interface, but you won't
need any of the source (the Haskell interface is 100% pure Haskell; no
crummy FFI bindings here!). However, it does of course use the WordNet
database files, so you'll need those.

  See http://www.cogsci.princeton.edu/~wn/ for more about WordNet

This interface doesn't cover all of WordNet -- for instance, it doesn't
yet do morphology. This will be available in a release soon. Also, it does
use implicit parameters, so you've got to have GHC or Hugs or some other
compiler that supports those.

 - Hal
