    Dear list members,
     
         Some days ago I posted a query about English dictionary. Thank you very much for the answers. There is the summary (total 5 )

    Zhang yuqi

    The summary is :
    1 You might try yourdictionary.com which includes lots of links to dictionaries of many languages.
                                                        Josephine Lo
    2 WordNet (http://www.cogsci.princeton.edu/~wn/)
                                    Rada Mihalcea and MAltesh Badiger
    3 You could try CUV2 which is a 'computer-usable' version of the Oxford Advanced Learners' Dictionary and available for free download from the Oxford Text Archive
    http://www.ota.ahds.ac.uk/ It contains 70,000+ entries (in text format) including inflected forms etc. and provides a fairly comprehensive coverage. There's also a Prolog-readable version on my web site at
    http://www.dcs.kcl.ac.uk/pg/purver/software.html
                                                     Jenny and Matthew Purver
    4 Cambridge can provide the Cambridge International Dictionary of English or
    the English Pronouncing Dictionary, but these only cover the most frequent
    50,000-80,000 words, not all English words. See
    http://uk.cambridge.org/elt/reference/data.htm for some more information.
