[Corpora-List] The Preposition Project: Completion of Phase I

[Ken Litkowski]

The first phase of The Preposition Project (TPP) has now been completed. 
Each of 673 preposition senses for 334 English prepositions (including 
phrasal prepositions) has now been characterized with a variety of 
information. For the 56 most common, single-word prepositions, this 
characterization has made use of FrameNet instances.

Please visit the project's main web site at:
	http://www.clres.com/prepositions.html
The Online TPP, containing the full database for easy browsing, as well 
as a link allowing a download of an XML file containing the full 
database, is at:
	http://www.clres.com/cgi-bin/onlineTPP/find_prep.cgi

A notable extension of TPP, with the completion of Phase I, is the 
development of an initial preposition taxonomy.

TPP wishes to thank Oxford University Press for permission to make the 
definitions of their prepositions (from the Oxford Dictionary of 
English) publicly available.

TPP is ongoing, with continued research into the nature of the 
preposition taxonomy, into the status of preposition senses as arguments 
or adjuncts, into the possible integration of TPP data into FrameNet, 
and into features relevant to the disambiguation of preposition senses.

We invite comments and suggestions for improving the TPP data and its 
use in NLP applications.
