Hi there,

Does anybody know a reasonable WordNet API for Java working with version
2.1 of WordNet?

Thanks,

Philipp.

My colleagues and I are interested in finding examples of languages in which the
gender of the possessive determiners (in particular the translation equivalents
of "his" and "her") is determined by the possessor (as is the case in English -
He is in HIS house; She is in HER house) rather than by the possessed entity (as
in the case, for example, with French - Il est dans SA maison; Elle est dans SA
maison). I will post a summary of responses.
