LinkGrammar-WN v1.0 has been released. LinkGrammar-WN is a lexicon addon for the Link Grammar Parser, a syntactic English parser based on the Link Grammar theory of English syntax.

This project aims to import lexical information from WordNet into the LGP lexicon. WordNet is an online lexical reference system that in recent years has become a popular tool for AI researchers.

LinkGrammar-WN v1.0 contains 14,392 noun word forms not available within the original LGP lexicon, thus increasing the size of the LGP lexicon by roughly 25%.

This work is based on and inspired by the paper:

"Adding a Medical Lexicon to an English Parser", by Szolovits, P. -- Project Page: http://www.cdm.lcs.mit.edu/projects/text/
