What languages (if any) do people know about, where there are
distinctions carried in the verbal morphology which cannot be indicated
in the pronominal system? (for example, if a language expressed gender
differences in the verbs, but not in pronouns).
 
Mail me with examples and I'll post a summary.

I am interested in machine readable dictionaries of English/German and
English/Dutch (or even German/Dutch).  Preferably unix compatible, as simply
formatted as possible and public domain.  Any information gratefully received.

Hello,
 
I am working on the development of a natural language interface (in spanish)
for an information retrieval system based on descriptors.
So, I have to translate natural language queries in terms of boolean equations
with descriptors (from Spine thesaurus).
I would like to know where can I get bibliography or information about similar
works via internet.
 
Thanks a lot!
 
Pablo Accuosto
