In this paper, we deal with coreference in Czech complex predicates with light verbs. The syntactic structure of these complex predicates is typically formed by valency complementations of both light verbs and predicative nouns, and its analysis poses a serious challenge for all syntactic theories. We demonstrate that in both deep and surface syntactic structure formation of these predicates, coreference between verbal and nominal valency complementations plays a substantial role. Description of individual types of coreference within complex predicates is thus essential for a comprehensive analysis of their syntactic behavior. In an extensive data annotation project, we identify, delimit and thoroughly describe individual types of coreferential relations between valency complementations of Czech complex predicates.
Mapping table for the article Hajič et al., 2024: Mapping Czech Verbal Valency to PropBank Argument Labels, in LREC-COLING 2024, as preprocess by the algorithm described in the paper. This dataset i smeant for verification (replicatoin) purposes only. It will b manually processed further to arrive at a workable CzezchpropBank, to be used in Czech UMR annotation, to be further updated during the annotation. The resulting PropBank frame files fir Czech are expected to be available with some future releases of UMR, containing Czech UMR annotation, or separately.
A richly annotated and genre-diversified language resource, The Prague Dependency Treebank – Consolidated 1.0 (PDT-C 1.0, or PDT-C in short in the sequel) is a consolidated release of the existing PDT-corpora of Czech data, uniformly annotated using the standard PDT scheme. PDT-corpora included in PDT-C: Prague Dependency Treebank (the original PDT contents, written newspaper and journal texts from three genres); Czech part of Prague Czech-English Dependency Treebank (translated financial texts, from English), Prague Dependency Treebank of Spoken Czech (spoken data, including audio and transcripts and multiple speech reconstruction annotation); PDT-Faust (user-generated texts). The difference from the separately published original treebanks can be briefly described as follows: it is published in one package, to allow easier data handling for all the datasets; the data is enhanced with a manual linguistic annotation at the morphological layer and new version of morphological dictionary is enclosed; a common valency lexicon for all four original parts is enclosed. Documentation provides two browsing and editing desktop tools (TrEd and MEd) and the corpus is also available online for searching using PML-TQ.
The Prague Dependency Treebank 2.5 annotates the same texts as the PDT 2.0. The annotation on the original four layers was fixed or improved in various aspects (see Documentation). Moreover, new information was added to the data:

The Prague Dependency Treebank 3.5 is the 2018 edition of the core Prague Dependency Treebank (PDT). It contains all PDT annotation made at the Institute of Formal and Applied Linguistics under various projects between 1996 and 2018 on the original texts, i.e., all annotation from PDT 1.0, PDT 2.0, PDT 2.5, PDT 3.0, PDiT 1.0 and PDiT 2.0, plus corrections, new structure of basic documentation and new list of authors covering all previous editions. The Prague Dependency Treebank 3.5 (PDT 3.5) contains the same texts as the previous versions since 2.0; there are 49,431 annotated sentences (832,823 words) on all layers, from tectogrammatical annotation to syntax to morphology. There are additional annotated sentences for syntax and morphology; the totals for the lower layers of annotation are: 87,913 sentences with 1,502,976 words at the analytical layer (surface dependency syntax) and 115,844 sentences with 1,956,693 words at the morphological layer of annotation (these totals include the annotation with the higher layers annotated as well). Closely linked to the tectogrammatical layer is the annotation of sentence information structure, multiword expressions, coreference, bridging relations and discourse relations.
The Prague Dependency Treebank of Spoken Czech 2.0 (PDTSC 2.0) is a corpus of spoken language, consisting of 742,316 tokens and 73,835 sentences, representing 7,324 minutes (over 120 hours) of spontaneous dialogs. The dialogs have been recorded, transcribed and edited in several interlinked layers: audio recordings, automatic and manual transcripts and manually reconstructed text. These layers were part of the first version of the corpus (PDTSC 1.0). Version 2.0 is extended by an automatic dependency parser at the analytical and by the manual annotation of “deep” syntax at the tectogrammatical layer, which contains semantic roles and relations as well as annotation of coreference.
The Valency Lexicon of Czech Verbs, Version 2.5 (VALLEX 2.5), is a collection of linguistically annotated data and documentation, resulting from an attempt at formal description of valency frames of Czech verbs. VALLEX 2.5 has been developed at the Institute of Formal and Applied Linguistics, Faculty of Mathematics and Physics, Charles University, Prague.
VALLEX 2.5 provides information on the valency structure (combinatorial potential) of verbs in their particular senses - there are roughly 2,730 lexeme entries containing together around 6,460 lexical units ("senses"). and LC 536 - Center for Computational Linguistics, 1ET100300517 and 1ET101120503.
VALLEX 3.0 provides information on the valency structure (combinatorial potential) of verbs in their particular senses, which are characterized by glosses and examples. VALLEX 3.0 describes almost 4 600 Czech verbs in more than 10 800 lexical units, i.e., given verbs in the given senses.
VALLEX 3.0 is a is a collection of linguistically annotated data and documentation, resulting from an attempt at formal description of valency frames of Czech verbs. In order to satisfy different needs of different potential users, the lexicon is distributed (i) in a HTML version (the data allows for an easy and fast navigation through the lexicon) and (ii) in a machine-tractable form as a single XML file, so that the VALLEX data can be used in NLP applications.
VALLEX 4.0 provides information on the valency structure (combinatorial potential) of verbs in their particular senses; each sense is by a gloss and examples. VALLEX 4.0 describes almost 4 700 Czech verbs in more than 11 000 lexical units, i.e., given verbs in the given senses. VALLEX 4.0 is a is a collection of linguistically annotated data and documentation, resulting from an attempt at formal description of valency frames of Czech verbs. In order to satisfy different needs of different potential users, the lexicon is distributed (i) in a HTML version (the data allows for an easy and fast navigation through the lexicon) and (ii) in a machine-tractable form, so that the VALLEX data can be used in NLP applications. VALLEX 4.0 provides (in addition to information from previous versions) also characteristics of verbs expressing reciprocity and reflexivity.
The data is provided in two formats: XML and JSON.
VALLEX 4.5 provides information on the valency structure (combinatorial potential) of Czech verbs in their particular senses (almost 4 700 verbs in more than 11 080 lexical units, supplemented with more than 290 nouns in more than 350 lexical units forming complex predicates with light verbs). VALLEX 4.5 is an enhanced successor of VALLEX 3.0, 3.5, and 4.0. In addition to the information stored there, VALLEX 4.5 provides a detailed description of reflexive verbs, i.e., verbs with the reflexive "se" or "si" as an obligatory part of their verb lexemes. VALLEX 4.5 covers 1 525 reflexive verbs in 1 545 lexical units (2 501 when aspectual counterparts counted separately). In order to satisfy different needs of different potential users, the lexicon is distributed (i) online in a HTML version (the data allows for an easy and fast navigation through the lexicon) and (ii) in this distribution in a machine-tractable form, so that the VALLEX data can be used in NLP applications.
