Dictionaries

 

Dictionaries of subcategorization frames

 

The following dictionaries all list surface subcategorization frames (each with a different annotation scheme). They are also all available in electronic form from the publishers (not free).

 

*COBUILD
Collins Cobuild English Language Dictionary. London: Collins, 1987. The COBUILD web site lets you search their Bank of English corpus (but you need to pay to get more than a trial.
* LDOCE
Longman Dictionary of Contemporary English. Burnt Mill, Essex: Longman, 1978.
* OALD
Oxford Advanced Learner's Dictionary of Current English. Oxford: Oxford University Press, Fourth Edition, 1989. The third edition also had information on subcategorization frames, although in a different incompatible format. However, a partial version of the third edition (with this information) is available free online from the Oxford Text Archive.

 

Not exactly a dictionary, but other popular sources are:

 

* Levin (1993)
Beth Levin. 1993. English Verb Classes and Alternations: A Preliminary Investigation. Chicago. Discusses linguistic distinctions (like unergative/unaccusative verbs, dative shift, etc., not made by the above dictionaries). The index of verbs is online.
*English subcategorization evaluation resources
Gold standard data, from Cambridge University (Anna Korhonen)

 

See also COMLEX and CELEX available from the LDC.

 

Dictionaries of assorted languages on the web

 

* The old version of Robert Beard's Web of Online Dictionaries long ago mutated into YourDictionary.com. I'm told the IPO has been delayed. Nevertheless, it's the most comprehensive index of dictionaries available on the web.

 

Names

 

U.S. names with frequency information, are available from the Census Bureau.

 

SGML structured dictionaries

 

*Cambridge International Dictionary of English and other products in SGML.

 

Lexical/morphological resources

 

*English SENSEVAL Resources
Dictionary entries and tagged examples for 35 words.
*ARIES Natural Language Tools
Lexicons and morphological analysis for Spanish. There is a free Prolog demonstrator, but the real lexicons and C/C++ access tools cost money.

Mailing lists

 

Mailing lists that have information on these topics include:

 

* Corpora
The main mailing list for info on corpus-based linguistics. Subscribe by sending the message:subscribe corporato listserv@uib.no. Or if you want to subscribe with a different email address, send:subscribe corpora email-address(Note that you're now speaking to a Majordomo server, not a listserv, so you don't send your name!). Or you can subscribe on the web.
* Empiricist
The empiricist list appears to be defunct now. You used to send a "subscribe" message to empiricists-request@unagi.cis.upenn.edu.
