[Corpora-List] Looking for toolkit for verb tense detection

[Amaç Herdağdelen]

Hello Qi Li,

I think you might be interested in Nodebox's Linguistics Library: http://nodebox.net/code/index.php/Linguistics#verb_conjugation It provides a simple interface that does what you want (in Python).

Here is the example from the documentation.

----
print en.verb.is_tense("wasn't", "1st singular past", negated=True)
print en.verb.is_present("does", person=1)
print en.verb.is_present_participle("doing")
print en.verb.is_past_participle("done")
>>> True
>>> False
>>> True
>>> True
----

Cheers,

Amaç Herdağdelen
