While only slightly off-topic, I find myself more in need of curated information than raw data in my sidebar research.
For instance, I searched for a while for a nearly complete dictionary of English verbs and their corresponding conjugations. My friend entitled this a "declension-ary."
- carbocation 16y agoBeing overly pedantic, I wanted to note that (a) Most dictionaries are also declension-aries, (b) I really like your word declension-ary, and (c) Declension is what you do to nouns and is analogous to conjugation of verbs, which I think is what you are looking for :-)
- benpbenp 16y agoYes, and inflection is the general case which includes declension and conjugation. It's unfortunate that most people are only aware of the other meaning of inflection, having to do with tone of voice.
- steveitis 16y agoI've looked for similar things, and been unable to find them. For people like us who need these things, but don't want to do it alone their should be a sort of Wikipedia/Digg like distributed lexical database. Everyone contributes data as it's acquired, and it is then verified by the users with a simple up/down vote for each child node. The data could even be automatically acquired, and just manually verified as it is utilized. Still an overwhelming task, but I think it would be worth it given all the fields that overlap with Natural Language Processing these days.
