Would anyone has access to an electronic copy of English nouns and verbs ?
A small (500 entries) to medium collection (5000 entries) would be appropriate.
It would be ideal if the verbs (and/or nouns) are grouped into various 
categories. I am also prepared to work with a small on-line dictionary and
manually extract the required knowledge.

The knowledge is sought for the design of lexicon and semantic knowledge 
for a restricted NL front end (for encoding rules).
