This paper introduces techniques to integrate WordNet into a Fuzzy Logic\nProgramming system. Since WordNet relates words but does not give graded\ninformation on the relation between them, we have implemented standard\nsimilarity measures and new directives allowing the proximity equations linking\ntwo words to be generated with an approximation degree. Proximity equations are\nthe key syntactic structures which, in addition to a weak unification\nalgorithm, make a flexible query-answering process possible in this kind of\nprogramming language. This addition widens the scope of Fuzzy Logic\nProgramming, allowing certain forms of lexical reasoning, and reinforcing\nNatural Language Processing applications.\n [Under consideration in Theory and Practice of Logic Programming (TPLP)]\n
