PaVeDa - Pavia Verbs Database: Challenges and Perspectives
Authors: Chiara Zanchi, Silvia Luraghi and Claudia Roberta Combei
Abstract: This paper describes an ongoing endeavor to construct Pavia Verbs Database (PaVeDa), 2013 an open-access typological resource that builds upon previous work on verb argument structure, in particular the Valency Patterns Leipzig (ValPaL) project (Hartmann et al., 2013). The PaVeDa database features four major innovations as compared to the ValPaL database: (i) it includes data from ancient languages enabling diachronic research; (ii) it expands the language sample to language families that are not represented in the ValPaL; (iii) it is linked to external corpora that are used as sources of usage-based examples of stored patterns; (iv) it introduces a new cross-linguistic layer of annotation for valency patterns which allows for contrastive data visualization.
