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.
This dataset can serve as a training and evaluation corpus for the task of training keyword detection with speaker direction estimation (keyword direction of arrival - KWDOA).
It was created by processing the existing Speech Commands dataset [1] with the PyroomAcoustics library so that the resulting speech recordings simulate the usage of a circular microphone array with 4 microphones having a distance of 57 mm between adjacent microphones. Such design of a simulated microphone array was chosen in order to match the existing physical microphone array from the Seeeduino series.
