Abstract
The project Open Access Database - Adjective-Adverb Interfaces in Romance aims at the creation of an annotated and lemmatised corpus of various linguistic phenomena related to Romance adjectives with adverbial functions. The project is funded by the FWF (Austrian Science Fund) and is a cooperation between the Department of Romance Studies and the Centre for Information Modelling of the University of Graz. In this paper, we will explain the currently ongoing process of data compilation as well as the morphosyntactic and semantic categories for a thorough annotation by means of some Spanish examples.
Highlights
Over the last two decades, the research group on Adjective-Adverb Interfaces in Romance, located at University of Graz, has conducted several research projects entailing approximately 60 publications1
The research group focuses on various linguistic phenomena related to adjectives with adverbial functions: adjective-adverbs, such as Spanish volar alto / French voler haut ‘to fly high’ or Spanish ver claro / French voir clair ‘to see clear’; adjectives used as discourse markers, such as Spanish cierto ‘true’; and adverbial prepositional phrases including adjectives, for example de seguro ‘certainly’, en serio ‘seriously, a malas ‘badly, in bad terms’, etc
As the research group cooperates with several international partners, who use and add data, the data should be tagged in a way that idiosyncratic solutions are reduced to a minimum
Summary
Over the last two decades, the research group on Adjective-Adverb Interfaces in Romance, located at University of Graz, has conducted several research projects entailing approximately 60 publications. The objective of the project Open Access Database - Adjective-Adverb Interfaces in Romance is the creation of a corpus for several Romance languages, where adjective-adverbs are uniformly and comprehensibly annotated and lemmatised. The project aims at documenting historical as well as presentday language examples. It updates already analysed and partially tagged subcorpora and further includes newly tagged data by the project team and by cooperation partners. The final objective is to explore reasonable ways to make the collected and annotated linguistic research data openly accessible and reusable via a search mask
