pouncer Posted March 31, 2007 Share Posted March 31, 2007 I'm looking for a website where i submit a word, it will tell me if that word is a noun/adjective etc etc. To be precise, I will use the website for a PHP socket script to submit a words and try and get the nouns/adjectives from a sentence. I hope someone can help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redbullmarky Posted March 31, 2007 Share Posted March 31, 2007 hmmm. a google search turned out this: http://www.hydroponicsearch.com/dictAPI/ which seems to collect data from various dictionaries. depending on the nature of the results found, you could probably parse out the relevent info about a word.

AndyB Posted March 31, 2007 Share Posted March 31, 2007 It's not the solution to your other noun/adjective problem because there's a contextual element that is likely beyond normal computational abilities. polish - verb or adjective depending on context house - noun or verb depending on context and we can go on with examples till the cows come home.

pouncer Posted March 31, 2007 Author Share Posted March 31, 2007 Andy, that is perfectly fine. As i said in my sockets post. Im just looking for nouns/adjectives (even if they are also verbs or whatever) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel0 Posted April 1, 2007 Share Posted April 1, 2007 I don't think you get what he means. If you supply the word "house", then a computer (or a human) wouldn't know whether it was a noun or an adjective as it can be both. Humans only require a context to put it in, but it might be a little harder for a computer (or the person programming the script/program). Take a look here for instance: http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=house Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.josh Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 He's not asking for some script to look at a sentence and determine whether a word is a noun, adjective, etc... I think what he is looking for is like when you go to dictionary.com and you enter in a word and it returns fields of information and one of the fields is the word's part of speech and what he wants to do is to have his script be able to submit a word to somewhere (like dictionary.com) and then grab the results and parse the part of speech field and flag it if 'noun' or 'adjective' is listed in the part of speech field.
