A corpus of preposition supersenses in English web reviews
This provides a new resource for linguistic research and NLP applications, but it is incremental as it builds on existing schemes.
The authors tackled the problem of semantic annotation for English prepositions by creating the first corpus annotated with preposition supersenses, which are unlexicalized categories organized hierarchically, and the data will be publicly released.
We present the first corpus annotated with preposition supersenses, unlexicalized categories for semantic functions that can be marked by English prepositions (Schneider et al., 2015). That scheme improves upon its predecessors to better facilitate comprehensive manual annotation. Moreover, unlike the previous schemes, the preposition supersenses are organized hierarchically. Our data will be publicly released on the web upon publication.
