Summary

Universal Derivations version of the Morphosemantic Database extracted by Christiane Fellbaum, Anne Osherson, and Peter E. Clark (https://wordnet.princeton.edu/download/standoff-files) from the English WordNet v3.0 (https://wordnet.princeton.edu/).

Introduction

In WordNet, links among noun and verb synsets containing words that share an underlying meaning and sometimes are derivationally related. The Morphosemantic Database (semantic relations between morphologically related nouns and verbs) from WordNet v3.0 contains derivational links connecting English noun and verb senses, e.g. employment#n1-employ#v2. The resource also gives the semantic type of the relationship.

Morphosemantic Database from English WordNet v3.0 has been harmonized manually.

Acknowledgments
