I am doing a research on developing a simulated environment for the students (who use English as second language) to practice English speaking.
In one part of my development, I need a data source which contains mostly using English speech phrases which are tagged against the real incident. As an exmaple, “Ways to Apologise Sorry. I’m sorry. I’m so sorry! Sorry for your loss.”
I could find several sites which are providing this service http://edition.englishclub.com, but not a data source.
Has somebody used such a data source , which can be used like ‘wordnet’ ? If so please help me to carry on this forward. Otherwise I have to develop such a data source which I feel like reinventing the wheel.
