Yes, Stefanie - my students and I have been working on this for years, in
many languages. You can find some relevant papers on my webpage
(see below).<br>
Email me and we can discuss the kinds of verb lists you need and what
you're looking for.<br>
Best,<br>

<blockquote type=cite class=cite cite="">Hi corpora,<br><br>
Is there a corpus out there that focuses on verbs that describe the
motion of an agent? I'm thinking of verbs like "follow,"
"wander," "chase," and "loiter."<br><br>
A comprehensive list of such verbs would be a great start. A corpus
containing examples of their usage in realistic situations would be
ideal.<br><br>
If not, I'll dig into WordNet, FrameNet, VerbNet, and PropBank, but I
wanted to ask first.<br><br>
Thanks!<br><br>
