We'd like to remind readers that the responses to queries are usually best posted to the individual asking the question. That individual is then strongly encouraged to post a summary to the list. This policy was
instituted to help control the huge volume of mail on LINGUIST; so we would appreciate your cooperating with it whenever it seems appropriate.
In addition to posting a summary, we'd like to remind people that it is usually a good idea to personally thank those individuals who have taken the trouble to respond to the query.
To post to LINGUIST, use our convenient web form at http://linguistlist.org/LL/posttolinguist.html.

Message 1: Lexicons Sought
|
Date: 25-Mar-2007
From: Leonid Chindelevitch <leonidusmit.edu>
Subject: Lexicons Sought
I am looking for monolingual lexicons in text or database format, for
Germanic languages (mainly English, German and Dutch). I need them for a
project in computational linguistics, and I prefer to have something free
(although I am willing to pay a small amount for a good quality lexicon).
I need the size to be at least 50,000 words in their citation (dictionary)
form. Additional indications, such as parts of speech, or properties like
[in]transitivity, gender, etc, would be desirable, but not necessary.
Thanks in advance for any information you can provide!

The LINGUIST List is under the umbrella of Eastern Michigan University and as such can
receive donations through the EMU Foundation, which is a registered 501(c) Non Profit
organization. Our Federal Tax number is 38-6005986. These donations can be offset against
your federal and sometimes your state tax return (U.S. tax payers only). For more
information visit the IRS Web-Site, or contact your financial advisor.
Many companies also offer a gift matching program, such that they will match any gift
you make to a non-profit organization. Normally this entails your contacting your human
resources department and sending us a form that the EMU Foundation fills in and returns
to your employer. This is generally a simple administrative procedure that doubles the
value of your gift to LINGUIST, without costing you an extra penny. Please take a moment
to check if your company operates such a program.
Thank you very much for your support of LINGUIST!
