Phonological networks are representations of word forms and their phonological relationships with other words in a given language lexicon. A principle underlying the growth (or evolution) of those networks is preferential attachment, or the ‘rich-gets-richer’ mechanisms, according to which words with many phonological neighbors (or links) are the main beneficiaries of future growth opportunities. Due to their limited number of words, language lexica constitute node-constrained networks where growth cannot keep increasing in a linear way; hence, preferential attachment is likely mitigated by certain factors. The present study investigated aging effects (i.e., a word’s finite time span of being active in terms of growth) in an evolving phonological network of English as a second language. It was found that phonological neighborhoods are constructed by one large initial lexical spurt, followed by sublinear growth spurts that eventually lead to very limited growth in later lexical spurts during network evolution, all the while obeying the law of preferential attachment. An analysis of the strength of phonological relationships between phonological word forms revealed a tendency to attach more distant phonological neighbors in the lower proficiency levels, while phonologically more similar neighbors enter phonological neighborhoods at more advanced levels of English as a second language. Overall, the findings suggest an aging effect in growth that favors younger words. In addition, beginning learners seem to prefer the acquisition of phonological neighbors that are easier to discriminate. Implications for the second language lexicon include leveraged learning mechanisms, learning bouts focussed on a smaller range of phonological segments, and involve questions concerning lexical processing in aging networks.
We defined 58 dramatic situations and annotated them in 19 play scripts. Then we selected only 5 well-recognized dramatic situations and annotated further 33 play scripts. In this version of the data, we release only play scripts that can be freely distributed, which is 9 play scripts. One play is annotated independently by three annotators.
Data

Bengali Visual Genome (BVG for short) 1.0 has similar goals as Hindi Visual Genome (HVG) 1.1: to support the Bengali language. Bengali Visual Genome 1.0 is the multi-modal dataset in Bengali for machine translation and image
captioning. Bengali Visual Genome is a multimodal dataset consisting of text and images suitable for English-to-Bengali multimodal machine translation tasks and multimodal research. We follow the same selection of short English segments (captions) and the associated images from Visual Genome as HGV 1.1 has. For BVG, we manually translated these captions from English to Bengali taking the associated images into account. The manual translation is performed by the native Bengali speakers without referring to any machine translation system.
The training set contains 29K segments. Further 1K and 1.6K segments are provided in development and test sets, respectively, which follow the same (random) sampling from the original Hindi Visual Genome. A third test set is
called the ``challenge test set'' and consists of 1.4K segments. The challenge test set was created for the WAT2019 multi-modal task by searching for (particularly) ambiguous English words based on the embedding similarity and
manually selecting those where the image helps to resolve the ambiguity. The surrounding words in the sentence however also often include sufficient cues to identify the correct meaning of the ambiguous word.
Dataset Formats
---------------
The multimodal dataset contains both text and images.
The text parts of the dataset (train and test sets) are in simple tab-delimited plain text files.
All the text files have seven columns as follows:
Column1 - image_id
Column2 - X
Column3 - Y
Column4 - Width
Column5 - Height
Column6 - English Text
Column7 - Bengali Text
The image part contains the full images with the corresponding image_id as the file name. The X, Y, Width and Height columns indicate the rectangular region in the image described by the caption.

A lexicographical project, whose aim is to digitize and align two Czech onomasiological dictionaries (Haller 1969–77; Klégr 2007) in order to create an integrated digital multi-purpose lexico-semantic database of Czech.
The dataset contains two parts: the original Stanford Natural Language Inference (SNLI) dataset with automatic translations to Czech, for some items from the SNLI, it contains annotation of the Czech content and explanation.
The Czech SNLI data contain both Czech and English pairs premise-hypothesis. SNLI split into train/test/dev is preserved.
- CZtrainSNLI.csv: 550152 pairs
- CZtestSNLI.csv: 10000 pairs
- CZdevSNLI.csv: 10000 pairs
The explanation dataset contains batches of pairs premise-hypothesis. Each batch contains 1499 pairs. Each pair contains:
- reference to original SNLI example
- English premise and English hypothesis
- English gold label (one of Entailment, Contradiction, Neutral)
- automatically translated premise and hypothesis to Czech
- Czech gold label (one of entailment, contradiction, neutral, bad translation)
- explanations for Czech label
Example record:
CSNLI ID: 4857558207.jpg#4r1e
English premise: A mother holds her newborn baby.
English hypothesis: A person holding a child.
English gold label: entailment
Czech premise: Matka drží své novorozené dítě.
Czech hypothesis: Osoba, která drží dítě.
Czech gold label: Entailment
Explanation-hypothesis: Matka
Explanation-premise: Osoba
Explanation-relation: generalization
Size of the explanations dataset:
- train: 159650
- dev: 2860
- test: 2880
Inter-Annotator Agreement (IAA)
Packages 1 and 12 annotate the same data. The IAA measured by the kappa score is 0.67 (substantial agreement).
The translation was performed via LINDAT translation service.
Next, the translated pairs were manually checked (without access to the original English gold label), with possible check of the original pair.
Explanations were annotated as follows:
- if there is a part of the premise or hypothesis that is relevant for the annotator's decision, it is marked
- if there are two such parts and there exists a relation between them, the relation is marked
Possible relation types:
- generalization: white long skirt - skirt
- specification: dog - bulldog
- similar: couch - sofa
- independence: they have no instruments - they belong to the group
- exclusion: man - woman

Czech OOV Inflection Dataset is a Czech inflection dataset of nouns, focused on evaluation in out-of-vocabulary (OOV) conditions. It consists of two parts: a standard lemma-disjoint train-dev-test split of a subset of noun paradigms of existing morphological dictionary Czech MorfFlex 2.0 (files train, dev and test-MorfFlex); and small set of neologisms from Čeština 2.0, annotated for inflected forms (file test-neologisms).
Data collection has been done by the means of Sketch Engine program.
Data were extrapolated from the annotated English web corpus enTenTen20.
Data collection and analysis has been done during the period of two months: April and May 2023.
Recently, the enTenTen20 corpus has been updated to a newer version - enTenTen21. Nevertheless, the older version is still available, can be worked on and can be compared with the newer one. It has been noticed that the differences between the two versions of the English web corpus did not affect the results of this study. The only apparent difference was seen in slightly different numbers in frequency values for specific collocations. This was expected since the older version of web corpus consists of 36 billion words, while the new version counts 52 billion words. On the other hand, as noted above, these frequency deviations were not significant enough to refute the hypotheses. They have rather confirmed them once again.
This study is one of the results of work on a larger scientific-research project called "Metaphorical collocations - syntagmatic relations between semantics and pragmatics". More information about the project is available on the following link: https://metakol.uniri.hr/en/opis-projekta/
The study has been financed by the Croatian science foundation.
Working with the data/replicating the study:
Data collected for the purposes of this study is available in CSV format.
Data for each gustatory adjective (collocate) is presented in a separate CSV file.
Upon opening each file, stretch the borders of every column for better visibility of data.
Tables show different collocational bases (nouns) which are found in the corpus, in combination with a specific gustatory adjective, their collocate.
These nouns are listed by their score number (The Mutual Information score expresses the extent to which words co-occur compared to the number of times they appear separately).
Tables show what type of mapping is present in a certain collocation (e.g., intra-modal or cross-modal).
Tables show what type of meaning or cognitive process is working in the background of the meaning formation (e.g., metonymic or metaphoric).
For every analyzed collocation, we provided a contextualized example of its use from the corpus, along with the hyperlink where it can be found.
Annotated dataset consisting of personal designations found on websites of 42 German, Austrian, Swiss and South Tyrolean cities. Our goal is to re-evaluate the websites every year in order to see how the use of gender-fair language develops over time. The dataset contains coordinates for the creation of map material.

Hausa Visual Genome 1.0, a multimodal dataset consisting of text and images suitable for English-to-Hausa multimodal machine translation tasks and multimodal research. We follow the same selection of short English segments (captions) and the associated images from Visual Genome as the dataset Hindi Visual Genome 1.1 has. We automatically translated the English captions to Hausa and manually post-edited, taking the associated images into account.
The training set contains 29K segments. Further 1K and 1.6K segments are provided in development and test sets, respectively, which follow the same (random) sampling from the original Hindi Visual Genome.
Additionally, a challenge test set of 1400 segments is available for the multi-modal task. This challenge test set was created in Hindi Visual Genome by searching for (particularly) ambiguous English words based on the embedding similarity and manually selecting those where the image helps to resolve the ambiguity.
