# Supported Languages

The distributed version includes morphological dictionaries for covered languages (English, Spanish, Catalan, Galician, and Italian):

- The Spanish dictionary was obtained from the Spanish Resource Grammar project developed at the Universitat Pompeu Fabra, and contains over 550,000 forms corresponding to more than 76.000 lemma-PoS combinations. These data are distributed under their original Lesser General Public License For Linguistic Resources (LGPL-LR) license. See THANKS and COPYING files for further information.

- The Catalan dictionary is hand build and contains near 67,000 forms corresponding to more than 7,400 different combinations lemma-PoS.

- The Galician dictionary was obtained from OpenTrad project (a nice open source Machine Translation project at `www.opentrad.org`), and contains over 90,000 forms corresponding to near 7,500 lemma-PoS combinations. These data are distributed under their original Creative Commons license, see THANKS and COPYING files for further information.

- The English dictionary was automatically extracted from WSJ, with accurate manual post-edition and completion. It contains over 65,000 forms corresponding to some 40,000 different combinations lemma-PoS.

- The Italian dictionary is extracted from Morph-it! lexicon developed the University of Bologna, and contains over 360,000 forms corresponding to more than 40,000 lemma-PoS combinations. These data are distributed under their original Creative Commons license, see THANKS and COPYING files for further information.

Smaller dictionaries (Catalan and Galician) are expected to cover over 80% of open-category tokens in a text. Larger dictionaries are expected to cover between 90-95% of open-category tokens in a text. For words not found in the dictionary, all open categories are assumed, with a probability distribution based on word suffixes, which includes the right tag for 99% of the words, and allow the tagger to make the most suitable choice based on tag sequence probability.

This version also includes WordNet-based sense dictionaries for covered languages, as well as some knowledge extracted from WordNet, such as semantic file codes, or hypernymy relationships.

- The English sense dictionary is straightforwardly extracted from WN 1.6 and therefore is distributed under the terms of WN license, as is all knowledge extracted from WN contained in thos package. You'll find a copy in the LICENSES/WN.license file in the distribution tarball.

- Catalan and Spanish sense dictionaries are extracted from EuroWordNet, and the reduced subsets included in this FreeLing package are distibuted under Gnu GPL, as the rest of the code and data in this package. Find a copy of the license in the LICENSES/GPL.license file.
