Word Classes and Parts of Speech

Part of speech or other word class information can be stored with equivalence entries. Use the following abbreviations:

     P: Pronoun           n: noun
     c: conjunction       p: preposition
     i: interjection      u: unclassed
     m: modifier          v: verb

A part of speech abbreviation follows a semicolon (;), where the part of speech designation applies to that word and to all equivalences which follow it up to the next part of speech abbreviation on the line. For example:

     wish;n,pie in the sky,dream;v,yearn,long,pine

The above is an entry for the root word ``wish''. The equivalences ``pie in the sky'', and ``dream'' are classed as nouns. The equivalences ``yearn'', ``long'', and ``pine'' are classed as verbs.
