简称EAT:
http://www.eat.rl.ac.uk/
跟princeton基于计算机语义方法的wordnet不同,EAT纯粹是经验方法,就是一张纸上写100个单词,发给100个人(应该是母语人士),在最短的时间写出他/她第一个想到的词,然后统计出结果。
因此EAT表示了英文单词之间的association,譬如cat,大部分人的第一反应就是dog,而不是pussy,因为首先联想到猫狗大战、rain cats and dogs等等。
再如:froth(啤酒、咖啡上的那层泡沫)联想最多的是beer,而不是foam,所以这也是一个记忆单词的好方法,印象深刻。
另一个典型的应用是你在冥思苦想一句广告词,这个方法也会从另一个思路提示你。

ps:iOS上有个visual thesaurus,现在叫wordflex,也是用树枝的方法把单词之间串起来,没事点点也很有趣,不过只有iPAD版本。

那页面提到了梁茂成。。。
EAT for MS-Windows

Professor Maocheng LIANG of National Research Centre for Foreign Language Education, Beijing Foreign Studies University (BFSU), People's Republic of China has ported the data from the Edinburgh Word Association Thesaurus into a stand alone tool for MS Windows which can be used off-line to find word associations, when Internet access is not available. The tool also reports chains of associations between any two words entered which the on-line tool does not. The product of the probablilities of a response to a cue is used as a measure of the semantic distance along the chain of words. No attempt is made to provide semantic labels for the links in the chain which, like any response to a word association cue, could be any of many types (e.g. synonym, antonym, morphologically or phrasally syntagmatic, a property or its value, co-members of a semantic class, case slot fillers to a verb, rhymes, etc...). However theoretically meaningless such chains may be, they may also still be of use in the creative industries in generating acceptible transitions between ideas in media presentations.

The tool can be downloaded in a ZIP archive from the link below. The tool is provided here as Professor Maocheng LIANG made it available and STFC accept no liability for any consequences of using this tool.
