This package exposes a lot of words to POS tags.

Use this when you want to do fun things with natural language.

This package is ESM only. In Node.js (version 14.14+, 16.0+), install with npm:

npm install brill

In Deno with esm.sh:

import {brill} from 'https://esm.sh/brill@3'

In browsers with esm.sh:

<script type="module">
  import {brill} from 'https://esm.sh/brill@3?bundle'
</script>

import {brill} from 'brill'

console.log(Object.keys(brill).length) // 89539

console.log(brill.Eric) //=> [ 'NNP' ]
// (Proper Noun, singular)

console.log(brill['most-contentious']) //=> [ 'RB|VBG' ]
// (Adverb; Verb, present participle/gerund)

console.log(brill.AA) //=> [ 'JJ', 'NN', 'NNP' ]
// (Adjective; Noun, singular or mass; Proper Noun, singular)

This package exports the identifiers brill and descriptions. There is no default export.

Map of words to a list of tags (Record<string, Array<string>>).

Map of tags to human descriptions (Record<string, string>). See lib/descriptions.js.

Some words are included as all-caps, first-capital, lowercase, or other:

import {brill} from 'brill'

console.log(brill.THAT) // [ 'TO', 'DT' ]
console.log(brill.That) // [ 'DT', 'NNP', 'PDT', 'IN', 'RB', 'EX', 'WDT' ]
console.log(brill.that) // [ 'IN', 'DT', 'NN', 'RB', 'RP', 'UH', 'WP', 'VBP', 'WDT' ]

It’s recommended to check a word first in its original form first and if it does not exist in its lowercase form.

This package is fully typed with TypeScript. It exports no additional types.

This package is at least compatible with all maintained versions of Node.js. As of now, that is Node.js 14.14+ and 16.0+. It also works in Deno and modern browsers.
