Yes: I looked there: but I am a lazy toad, and the thought of typing all
those words into a field makes me want to go and work
as a pole dancer!
So, all you Use-List users who, for some funny reason (!!!), cannot
stomach the idea of Richmond as a pole-dancer in an erotic
bar near you, you know what you have to do: get typing :)
There's also WordNet, but while it does include word sense I don't
recall if it gets as specific as to the type of verb. Besides, it's
even more cumbersome to parse than sraping those Wikipedia pages, so
hopefully those will be helpful.
"scraping" is, indeed, the word.
I was, perhaps rather naively, hoping that some hard-working person
somewhere had already assembled
a nice, tidy, text file of intransitive verb forms . . .
Richmond.
