<div dir="ltr">Alan,<div><br></div><div>The OpenLogos dictionaries have 12 categories of nouns, including concrete and abstract nouns. All nouns were classified manually, according to supersets, sets and subsets, as explained in the SAL tutorial. SAL is a semantico-syntactic abstract language, which represents the "engine" of the OpenLogos MT system. The lexicon is classified in terms of SAL categories.<div>Here is the link for the noun supersets: <a href="http://www.l2f.inesc-id.pt/~abarreiro/openlogos-tutorial/NOUNroot.htm" target="_blank">http://www.l2f.inesc-id.pt/~abarreiro/openlogos-tutorial/NOUNroot.htm</a></div><div><br></div><div>OpenLogos dictionaries will be available soon (including the English-French dictionary with the SAL categories for all PoS).</div><div><br></div><div>You can find some more information in the papers:</div><div><ul style="line-height: 19.1875px; margin-top: 0.3em; margin-right: 0px; margin-left: 1.6em; padding-right: 0px; padding-left: 0px; list-style-image: url(data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAUAAAANAQMAAABb8jbLAAAABlBMVEX///8AUow5QSOjAAAAAXRSTlMAQObYZgAAABNJREFUCB1jYEABBQw/wLCAgQEAGpIDyT0IVcsAAAAASUVORK5CYII=); font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><li style="margin-bottom: 0.1em;">Bernard (Bud) Scott: <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="http://www.springerlink.com/(th03ee55nsot2c45dzwqrqmh)/app/home/contribution.asp?referrer=parent&backto=issue,1,3;journal,6,61;linkingpublicationresults,1:100310,1" style="text-decoration: none; color: rgb(102, 51, 102); background-image: url(data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAoAAAAKCAYAAACNMs+9AAAAVElEQVR42n3PgQkAIAhEUXdqJ3dqJ3e6IoTPUSQcgj4EQ5IlUiLE0Jil3PECXhcHGBhZ8kg4hwxAu3MZeCGeyFnAXp4hqNQPnt7QL0nADpD6wHccLvnAKksq8iiaAAAAAElFTkSuQmCC); padding-right: 13px; background-position: 100% 50%; background-repeat: no-repeat no-repeat;">"The Logos Model: An Historical Perspective"</a>, in <i>Machine Translation</i>, vol. 18 (2003), pp. 1–72</li></ul></div><div><ul style="line-height: 19.1875px; margin-top: 0.3em; margin-right: 0px; margin-left: 1.6em; padding-right: 0px; padding-left: 0px; list-style-image: url(data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAUAAAANAQMAAABb8jbLAAAABlBMVEX///8AUow5QSOjAAAAAXRSTlMAQObYZgAAABNJREFUCB1jYEABBQw/wLCAgQEAGpIDyT0IVcsAAAAASUVORK5CYII=); font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><li style="margin-bottom: 0.1em;">Anabela Barreiro, Bernard Scott, Walter Kasper and Bernd Kiefer. <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="http://www.springerlink.com/content/a671801256829668/?MUD=MP" style="text-decoration: none; color: rgb(102, 51, 102); background-image: url(data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAoAAAAKCAYAAACNMs+9AAAAVElEQVR42n3PgQkAIAhEUXdqJ3dqJ3e6IoTPUSQcgj4EQ5IlUiLE0Jil3PECXhcHGBhZ8kg4hwxAu3MZeCGeyFnAXp4hqNQPnt7QL0nADpD6wHccLvnAKksq8iiaAAAAAElFTkSuQmCC); padding-right: 13px; background-position: 100% 50%; background-repeat: no-repeat no-repeat;">"OpenLogos Rule-Based Machine Translation: Philosophy, Model, Resources and Customization"</a>.

Does anyone know of either a lexicon that classifies nouns on this basis, or of any algorithms/software which can classify them automatically? Resources for French are preferred but those for other languages may be helpful as well.</div>
