[Corpora-List] Portuguese thesaurus/dictionary

[Cédrick Fairon]

Hello,
Have you tried the LabEL resources? : http://label.ist.utl.pt/ (click on
Recursos Publicos).

The labEL is giving away its data for research purpose:

Dicionários de palavras simples
-Dicionário de formas canónicas (cerca de 120 000 entradas)
-Dicionário de formas flexionadas (cerca de um milhão)
-Dicionário de siglas e acrónimos (cerca de 4 000)

Dicionários de palavras compostas
-Dicionário de nomes compostos (amostragem com 10 000 entradas)
-Dicionário de advérbios compostos (amostragem com 1 000 entradas)
-Dicionário de preposições compostas
-Dicionário de conjunções compostas

Their full resources are also available in an Open Source corpus processor:
http://www-igm.univ-mlv.fr/~unitex/. But in this case, you don't have access
to the raw dictionaries directly (they are compressed).

Best,

Cedrick
