This article presents a scholarly analysis of the WordNet model and the lexical-semantic networks developed
on an international scale. The study first examines the conceptual framework of Princeton WordNet, which is based
on psycholinguistic principles and structured through synsets, glosses, and semantic relations. It further explores the
architecture, functional characteristics, and role of WordNet versions 2.1 and 3.1 in natural language processing (NLP)
tasks. National systems such as RuWordNet, Japanese WordNet, Korean WordNet, and Turkish WordNet are analyzed
using comparative statistical indicators, and the mechanisms of their integration into the general WordNet paradigm
are identified. The article also highlights the global significance of WordNet in the development of multilingual semantic
networks and its functional potential as a linguistic and computational resource
