1 Part Of Speech Database
4 Compiled by Kevin Atkinson <kevina@users.sourceforge.net>
6 The part-of-speech.txt file contains is a combination of
7 "Moby (tm) Part-of-Speech II" and the WordNet database.
9 The latest version can be found at http://aspell.sourceforge.net/wl/.
11 The format of each entry is
12 <word><tab><POS tag(s)><unix newline>
14 Where the POS tag is one or more of the following:
19 V Verb (usu participle)
32 The parts of speech before any '|' (if at all) come from the original
33 Moby database. Anything after the '|' comes from the WordNet
34 database. The part of speech tags from the original Moby database are
35 in priority order where the principle usage is listed first. The ones
36 from the WordNet database are not. Entries from the moby database
37 have had any accents removed, the "ae" character expanded, the
38 pound, yen, and peseta sign converted to a '$' and the CP437
39 character 0xBE replaced with a '~'.
43 The C++ program used to create the database is also included for those
44 of you are interested. The WordNet database will require a bit of
45 preprocessing with the following command:
46 cat POS.lst | sed -n 's/\([^ ][^ ]*\) /\1/p' | tr '_' ' ' > noun.POS
47 The paths will also need to be changed in order to get it to run.
52 The Moby database was explicitly pleased in the public domain:
54 The Moby lexicon project is complete and has
55 been place into the public domain. Use, sell,
56 rework, excerpt and use in any way on any platform.
58 Placing this material on internal or public servers is
59 also encouraged. The compiler is not aware of any
60 export restrictions so freely distribute world-wide.
