Nodebox Linguistics Extended

Overview

This repository is a modified fork of Tom De Smedt's Nodebox English Linguistics library, which bundles WordNet, NLTK, and other useful modules.

It is used as part of the openly-available Python version of the Rensa framework, which was introduced in the following paper:

Installation

To install, download the repository and install using setup.py:

python setup.py install

Usage

For convenience, import in python as follows:

import nodebox_linguistics_extended as nle

You can then call the original Nodebox commands. For example:

print nle.verb.infinitive("swimming")

...will print the word "swim".
