Hi,
I need a method that returns true or false given two words depending
on whether they are synonyms or not. I need a dictionary of synonyms.
Can you suggest one? I have read about WordNet, does it offer such a
feature?

Thanks

Yes, Wordnet is essentially a list of synonym sets.
If 2 words are in the same synonym set, then they are synonyms.
See the Wordnet site, there is an API defined, as well as the underlying
file structure.
