“CPA Verb Validation Sample 30 (En)” is a newly developed lexical resource. It contains descriptions of the following 30 English verbs:
| access | ally | arrive | breathe | claim |
| cool | cry | crush | deny | enlarge |
| enlist | forge | furnish | hail | halt |
| part | plug | plough | pour | say |
| smash | smell | steer | submit | swell |
| tell | throw | trouble | wake | yield |
Here we present a small portion of the data just to illustrate its structure. For each verb we define a set of semantic patterns and provide a sample of manually annotated corpus concordances. Then we do a detailed interannotator disagreement analysis, error detection, and adjudication.
A few examples of revised PDEV entries:
An example of a pattern definition form in detail:
Each of the examples below contains a multiple annotated set of 50 corpus concordances with manual disagreement analysis and final adjudication. The adjudicated data are used as a gold standard sample.
