WordFan(tm) is a natural language processing toolbox for database and text retrieval systems and other applications. The WordFan(tm) engine takes an input word and a Relation specification and outputs a list of related words. For example: if the Relation is 'synonym', then WordFan(tm) will provide a list of synonyms; if the Relation is 'inflection', WordFan(tm) will provide all inflected forms of the input word. WordFan then automatically determines the part of speech of any input word. If the Relation is 'derivation', WordFan will provide a list of derived words such as "musician"-> "musical", There are over 30 such Relations under development. Currently, WordFan(tm) is available as a conjugation product. Soon a WordFan(tm) morphological derivation module will be released. WordFan(tm) is available in several languages including English, French, German, and Spanish. Other languages will be announced soon.
