Subject: Release of Démonette-2: a French derivational database


We are pleased to announce the release of the French derivational
morphology database Démonette-2, produced in the framework of the
Demonext project (ANR-17-CE23-0005). Démonette is composed of
descriptions of 222,118 lexeme pairs and their relations. The database
contains three tables, one for the lexemes (table of lexemes), one for
the morphologically related pairs of lexemes (table of relations) and
one for the word families (table of families). Démonette provides the
written form of the lexemes, their pronunciation, their grammatical
category, their inflectional paradigm, their possible variants and for
the nouns their masculine or feminine equivalents. For pairs of
lexemes, the database provides the affixes of the two lexemes, the
type of word formation, the complexity of the relation and its
orientation. This information is derived from existing academic work.
The origin of all the information in the database is explicitly
mentioned.

Démonette is a general-purpose database that can be used for teaching
vocabulary and grammar, speech therapy and remediation, experimental
linguistics, NLP, etc. Démonette-2 is distributed under a
CC-Attribution-4.0 license.
