[Corpora-List] complete list of closed-class words in English

[Eric Atwell]

It depends whcih grammatical categories/tags you consider "closed
class". For example, "adverb" is presumably an open class, but 
some subclasses of adverb are only a few words and hence "closed".
The AMALGAM website lists the PoS-tag sets used in 8 English 
corpus tagging schemes (Brown, ICE, LLC, LOB, Parts, PoW, SEC, Penn)
http://www.comp.leeds.ac.uk/ccalas/tagsets/tagmenu.html
and lists words with each tag - so you can choose the tags you 
want as "closed" and select the words which have these tags.

But I disagree with your assumption that Wikipedia is not
"authentic" - Wikipedia has sophisticated mechanisms for 
fostering and monitoring supervised collaboration, producing 
a resource which is arguably more authoritative and unbiased 
than a single-authored source; e.g. see IBM research paper:

Viegas F., Wattenberg, M., Kriss, J., and van Ham, F. 2007.
Talk Before You Type: Coordination in Wikipedia. In
Proceedings of HICSS.
