class(class_id) View Source
Return complete raw map of an entire VerbNet class.
On failed lookup, returns :invalid_class.
find_frames(primary, member) View Source
Return semantic frame from VerbNet that matches the provided primary POS pattern and class member.
On failed lookup, returns an empty list.

frames(class_id) View Source
Return list of semantic frames for VerbNet class, keyed by primary POS pattern.
On failed lookup, returns :invalid_class.
Examples
iex> VerbNet.frames("wish-62") |> Map.keys()
["NP V NP", "NP V NP ADJ", "NP V NP to be ADJ", "NP V S_INF",
"NP V for NP S_INF", "NP V that S"]
iex> VerbNet.frames("foo")
:invalid_class
members(class_id) View Source
Return list of member maps for VerbNet class, keyed by member name.
On failed lookup, returns :invalid_class.
Examples
iex> VerbNet.members("wish-62")
%{"aim" => %{grouping: "aim.02", wn: "aim%2:31:01"},
"dream" => %{grouping: "dream.01", wn: "dream%2:36:00"},
