Dear all

Does anyone know of a freely-downloadable lexicon of words tagged according
to their semantic features? For my purposes (an attempt at auto-generating
cryptic crossword clues) neither the lexicon itself nor the sets of
features need be huge; what I need is a way of evaluating whether two or
more selected words "sit comfortably" together (e.g. DRUNK PERSON) or not
(e.g. *DRUNK SPOON).

Any other potential solutions will be equally welcome!

Many thanks

Jonathan
