Query:	I'm doing some computational linguistics research and I'm looking for a digital copy of as many English verbs as possible. The golden trophy of what I would want are all of the verbs from Levin '93, and labelled according to which groups they belong to. Barring that, just a list of the verbs and I'll just figure things out with my own eyeballs afterwards. As a bonus, I would also like to find a list of all the deverbal nouns of English - regular or otherwise. So not just the regular ones like jump/a jump, but also the irregular ones like sit/a seat or eat/a meal. They don't necessarily have to be labelled according to which lexical verb they correspond to, though that would certainly be a bonus. I've tried looking in all sorts of places, but most search Engines just churn out hundreds of verb lists for English instructors (of the ''500 most common verbs!'' variety). If anybody can give me a hint on any resource which can provide for me some kind of a thorough list of the above, then I would greatly appreciate it. Have a nice day, - Sebastien
