Re:how close are we to self forming dictionaries? (Score 1)

*Perfect* This is exactly what I was intending (i.e. using google/web as an input device to symbolically build relation constructs to evolve dictionary definitions -- more than simply searching for preformed definitions)

If I may, anyone out there have ideas on what other linguistic constructs can be self formed based on the massive web corpus as a simple input device? We already have:

Sets (via Google's Sets)

Dictionary (via earlier link)

Thesaurus (via Google's Sets + tweaks)

Grammar

Self forming Encyclopedia

Self forming identity databases (e.g. Googlezon hype)

and thus,

Concsciousness?
