PersPred: A Syntactic and Semantic Database for Persian Complex Predicates

We are pleased to announce that PersPred, a freely available database for Persian complex predicates in now accessible. It is distributed under the LGPL-LR license and available per request.

PersPred is a manually elaborated multilingual syntactic and semantic Lexicon. Its first version, PersPred 1.0 contains around 600 entries of complex predicates formed with the verb zadan ‘to hit’ and a nominal element.

The present version of the database is in xls format. Each line of the database corresponds to the predicative combination of a verb and a non-verbal element, for which various types of information are annotated, namely the English and French translation of the verb, of the non-verbal element and the meaning of the complex predicate, its sub-categorization frame and alternations. At least one example extracted from the literature, newspaper or the Internet, illustrates each entry.

A particularly interesting feature of PersPred is that it proposes semantic groupings of predicates.  

PersPred 1.0, delivered in June 2012, was developed within ANR-DFG PERGRAM (2008-2012), project [grant no.\ MU 2822/3-I] and is related to the work package LR4.1 of the Labex Empirical Foundations of Linguistics (funded by the ANR/CGI).
