GerEO

GerEO is a set of syntactic and semantic annotations on German sentences containing an experiencer-object (EO) verb. EO verbs are psychological predicates whose Experiencer argument is mapped onto the object.

They are claimed to be syntactically special in the literature. GerEO may be used to e.g. review, develop and falsify theoretical hypotheses and to aid the design of experiments by allowing to detect properties of verbs that may cause interference effects and to search for sentences with specific properties to develop realistic experimental stimuli. It may also serve as gold standard data for AI.

Distribution

GerEO contains up to 200 sentences per verb for 64 German EO verbs and is distributed in CSV format via our GitHub repository.
