After decompression +the vocabulary file included with this product is in ordinary ASCII +format with CRLF (ASCII 13/10) delimiters. + +This second edition is a particularly thorough revision of the original +Moby Part-of-Speech. Beyond the fifteen thousand new entries, +many thousand more entries have been scrutinized for correctness +and modernity. This is unquestionably the largest P-O-S list in the +world. Note that the many included phrases means that parsing +algorithms can now tokenize in units larger than a single word, +increasing both speed *and* accuracy. + + +Database Legend: + + +Each part-of-speech vocabulary entry consists of a word or phrase +field followed by a field delimiter of (ASCII 215) and the +part-of-speech field that is coded using the following ASCII symbols +(case is significant): + + + +Noun N + +Plural p + +Noun Phrase h + +Verb (usu participle) V + +Verb (transitive) t + +Verb (intransitive) i + +Adjective A + +Adverb v + +Conjunction C + +Preposition P + +Interjection ! + +Pronoun r + +Definite Article D + +Indefinite Article I + +Nominative o + + + +This two-part vocabulary record is delimited from others with CRLF +(ASCII 13/10). For example, engineer Nt means that the word engineer +has two main uses in English; the principal part-of-speech is as a noun +"That engineer could write in microcode with one hand and in ADA +with the other" and its secondary part-of-speech is as a transitive verb: +"We sure engineered that software to death." + +In many cases, the -ed, -ing, +-ly, and -ic forms of words are not explicitly listed; the participle forms +of verbs will be usually marked simply with the V sign rather than the +more specific t or i symbols. Words such as "be," which often have +more than one head entry in a dictionary, have one listing with all the +parts-of-speech for all senses concatenated. Foreign words commonly +used in English usually include their diacritical marks, for example, the +acute accent e is denoted by ASCII 142. +
