npm install brill

In Deno with esm.sh:

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

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

Use

import {brill} from 'brill'

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

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

Data

Capitalization

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.
