Most likely not. It looks like the first option refers to PennTreeBank tags
(nouns - N-N, N-NS, etc, verbs - V-B, V-BD, etc, adjectives - J-J, J-JR,
J-JS, adverbs - R-B, etc) and the second option refers to WordNet nvar
tags - n-oun, v-erb, a-djective, adve-r-b. It's a bit strange to see two
type of tags together, but it does not seem too random :) This line from
main confirms the first guess:
dict.getLemmas(word,NN)

Hi,
I am not sure if this is a bug or not. In getLemmas(String word,
String tag) method of JWNLDictionary, if you are looking up adjectives it
checks if the tag starts with J or a. Anyone know if this a bug or
deliberate? (JWNL-1.3.3 distributed with opennlp-1.5.3)
if (tag.startsWith(N) || tag.startsWith(n)) {
pos = POS.NOUN;
}
else if (tag.startsWith(V) || tag.startsWith(v)) {
pos = POS.VERB;
}
else if (tag.startsWith(J) || tag.startsWith(a)) {
pos = POS.ADJECTIVE;
}
else if (tag.startsWith(R) || tag.startsWith(r)) {
pos = POS.ADVERB;
}
else {
pos = POS.NOUN;
}
