The file contains all Czech verbs included in the Retrograde Morphemic Dictionary of Czech Language (Slavíčková Eleonora, Academia 1975).
The data was obtained by scanning a portion of the dictionary that contains words ending in -ci and -ti. Among them, there were 18 non-verbs, which were removed. Using OCR, the data was converted into the plain text format and the result was checked by two independent readers. However, if a user encounters a forgotten error, please report.
The item contains a list of 2,058 noun/verb conversion pairs along with related formations (word-formation paradigms) provided with linguistic features, including semantic categories that characterize semantic relations between the noun and the verb in each conversion pair. Semantic categories were assigned manually by two human annotators based on a set of sentences containing the noun and the verb from individual conversion pairs. In addition to the list of paradigms, the item contains a set of 739 files (a separate file for each conversion pair) annotated by the annotators in parallel and a set of 2,058 files containing the final annotation, which is included in the list of paradigms.
Language acquisition is one of the currently much discussed topics in the field of psycholinguistics. Considerable space for future research can be seen in the development of vocabulary in Czech-speaking children. In our case, we are mainly interested in the meaning, i.e. the content of acquired words (concepts), and the role of so-called semantic features in mental representation.
The intended goal of our research is to bring new information from the above-mentioned area, to confirm or disprove some existing theoretical statements and to compare the results of foreign research with data obtained using the Czech language material. Similar research has been conducted in various world languages, but so far there are not many papers that address the issue in the Czech language environment. As part of our work, a comprehensive database of semantic features for selected concepts has been prepared. This database has been statistically processed and subsequently the data has been analyzed and interpreted on the basis of theories about the development of the child's speech competence. This material, obtained from children aged 8-9 (lower primary school) growing up in a Czech language environment, has been used in the next phase of research, in which an experiment with subjects belonging to the same age category has been performed: in a semantic task based on the phenomenon called semantic priming, the effect of featural similarity of two concepts on decision in a speeded task has been observed.
The results of the research expand the range of information published so far in this scientific field in the Czech environment. This research can provide valuable insights into children's language acquisition issues. The data gathered can also be practically beneficial not only for teachers, psychologists and speech therapists, but also for parents, for example.
Supplementary files for a comparative study of word-formation without the addition of derivational affixes (conversion) in English and Czech.
The two .csv files contain 300 verb-noun conversion pairs in English and 300 verb-noun conversion pairs in Czech, i.e. pairs where either the noun is created from the verb or the verb is created from the noun without the use of derivational affixes. In English, the noun and verb in the conversion pair have the same form. In Czech, the noun and verb in the conversion pair differ in inflectional affixes.
The pairs are supplied with manual semantic annotation based on cognitive event schemata.
A file with the Appendix includes a list of dictionary definition phrases used as a basis for the semantic annotation.
Semantic net `sholva' contains more than 150 000 records for which there was sufficient agreement among annotators. Indvidual words are labeled in the following categories:
person, person / individual, event and substance.
The SynSemClass synonym verb lexicon is a result of a project investigating semantic ‘equivalence’ of verb senses and their valency behavior in parallel Czech-English language resources, i.e., relating verb meanings with respect to contextually-based verb synonymy.

Part of the dataset are files reflecting interannotator agreement.

The SynSemClass synonym verb lexicon version 4.0 investigates, with respect to contextually-based verb synonymy, semantic ‘equivalence’ of Czech, English, and German verb senses and their valency behavior in parallel Czech-English and German-English language resources. SynSemClass 4.0 is a multilingual event-type ontology based on classes of synonymous verb senses, complemented with semantic roles and links to existing semantic lexicons. The version 4.0 is not only enriched by an additional number of classes but in the context of content hierarchy, some classes have been merged. Compared to the older versions of the lexicon, the novelty is the definitions of classes and the definitions of roles.

The SynSemClass synonym verb lexicon version 5.0 is a multilingual resource that enriches previous editions of this event-type ontology with a new language, Spanish. The existing languages, English, Czech and German, are further substantially extended by a larger number of classes. SSC 5.0 data also contain lists (in a separate removed_cms.zip file) with originally (pre-)proposed but later rejected class members. All languages are organized into classes and have links to other lexical sources. In addition to the existing links, links to Spanish sources have been added.
