I’d like to activate a topic on “grad student” or any synonym of it.

Doing

:word grad_student gives

synonyms:  *graduate_student~1 postgraduate~1 grad_student~1

is there a way to say ‘all the synonyms of grad student’?

I recognize having a concept would be wonderful here, but there isn’t one -

<Anniepoo> :concepts grad_student
<anniebot> grad_student: ~role_knowledge ~classroom ~role_misc ~goodness ~causal_to_infinitive_verbs ~start ~entirety_words ~verbal_disagree ~nounroot ~role ~misc_parsedata ~alter_functionality_verbs ~styles ~affect_object_verbs ~attributes ~animate_verbs ~active_verbs ~nounlist

So I’d like to say ‘synonyms of’ -

Or will the matcher always use synonyms without my doing anything?

Can’t test now, but I am pretty sure it will match synonyms.

If not, you can always create a new concept to store what you want to match, and put that into your topic.

topic: ~this_topic_name (~myconcept_grad_student)
concept: ~myconcept_grad_student(graduate_student~1 postgraduate~1 grad_student~1)

graduate_student~1 names a specific wordnet meaning and if used as a keyword in a pattern or a concept or topic, then it covers all synonyms and all hyponyms
