Démonette is currently the result of the migration and reanalysis of derivational data from the following resources.
Convers (D. Tribout)
All properties of all noun/verb and verb/name pairs of the Converts database have been transferred to Demonette (3241 entries).
Description
The Convers base describes the derivational relations of verb-to-noun and noun-to-verb conversion. The complete description is here.

All the properties of all the wordpairs of the Demonette1 database have been imported into Demonette, except for the annotations related to the semantics of the relations (integration expected in a future version of the database) (65790 entries).
Description
The Démonette (1.2) database is a network of derivational relations.
A Demonette entry describes a relation between two morphologically related words: Word1 and Word2, each uniquely identified by: a graphical representation, a morphosyntactic category (in GRACE format), its lemma, a semantic type. The connected words are verbs, action nouns, agent nouns and agentive adjectives. Demonette contains the result of the contribution of three morphological analysis systems: Morphonette, DériF and Verbaction. It contains 96027 entries that describe relations between 61822 different word pairs.

DiMoC (M. Roché)
The DiMoC entries that have been incorporated into the current version of Demonette regard suffixed, prefixed or converted lexemes, excluding more complex relations or those involving a compounding process. Only features relevant to Demonette have been transferred from this resource (46211 entries).
Description
DiMoC (“Dictionary of Constructed Words”) is a set of lexical databases that collects lexicon of complex words recorded in dictionaries or found on the Web or elsewhere. It is meant to serve as a support for work in derivational morphology. Each database has a large number of fields (grammatical category, semantics, morphophonology, history, construction analysis, etc.) which may or may not be filled in depending on the research. Their common structure makes it possible to merge them and it is always possible to add fields for a particular specialized search. The abbreviations and features have been chosen for use with ACCESS, according to its system of filters, classification and display. They can also be consulted in Excel copies. Each database is accompanied by an explanatory note.

Dénom (J. Strnadová)
The Denom entries that have been incorporated into the current version of Demonette regard suffixed, prefixed or converted adjectives, excluding more complex relations or those involving a compounding process. Only features relevant to Demonette have been transferred from this resource. (15094 entries).

DériF (F. Namer)
The analyses of DériF that have joined the current version of Démonette are (1) the most reliable and (2) those not found in any other resource: verbs derived in -iser, prefixed in dé-, in re-, in- (and variants of these exponents), adjectives suffixed in -able, prefixed in in-, anti-, or by means of a quantifier exponent (bi-, tri- multi-, etc.) (9435 entries)
Description
DériF (“Dérivation en Français”) is an analyzer of the morphologically complex lexicon of French. DériF analyzes lexical units formed by derivation (suffixed: SCOLAIRE/ADJ, prefixed APPAUVRIR/VERBE, converted: IMPERMÉABLE/NOM) and those formed by neoclassical compounding (ANTHROPOPHAGE/ADJ).

Mordan (A. Koehl)
Some properties (lexicographic definition, inverted spelling, frequency, etc.) of the Mordan database are not recorded in the current version of Demonette. Some entries have been duplicated (distribution of descriptions of polysemous names) (4434 entries).
Description
This morphological database describing the derivations adjective-to-noun (Mordan: “Morphology of Adjective to Noun Derivations”) was designed as part of Aurore Koehl’s PhD thesis. It records 3983 pairs (adjective/noun) with formal, semantic, historical and pragmatic information. Each new form is accompanied by a context which allows its interpretation.
