Spanish verb morphology dataset
The dataset includes over 1000 verb types with their morphological inflection and irregularity classification. We include all the verbs produced by any speaker in the Spanish portion of the CHILDES data set (MacWhinney, 2000). Each verb is listed with its stem and all possible tokens, inflected form, English meaning translation, irregularity class for irregular verbs, and inflection for each person, number, and tense combination. The irregular verb classification corresponds to the notation used in the Spanish conjugation tables provided by Wiktionary (https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Appendix:Spanish_verbs). A native-speaker of Spanish marked each irregular modification as affecting pronunciation vs. only orthography. T he context for each verb is provided along with the morphological notation used in the CHILDES and SIG-MORPHON datasets (https://childes.talkbank.org/ and https://github.com/sigmorphon/conll2017). For completeness, we add frequency data for each verb-context combination from the Spanish portion of CHILDES.
The data set is provided in two file types (text and csv). Both files are in UTF-8 encoding.
| Field | Meaning |
|---|---|
| SIGstem | The stem of the verb as listed in SIG-MORPHON |
| SIGprop | The dimensions of meaning based on the unimorph schema (https://unimorph.github.io/schema) |
| CHILDESprop | The dimensions of meaning based on the CHILDES schema (https://talkbank.org/manuals/MOR.pdf) |
| SIGverb | The gloss of the verb corresponding to the verb stem and meaning |
| VerbType | The verb type (ar, er, or ir) |
| English | The English translation of the Spanish stem |
| StemFrequency | The type frequency of the verb in CHILDES |
| Person | Person (1, 2, or 3) |
| Tense | Tense (Condtional, Future, Present, SUBJ_PRESENT, Imperfect, Preterit, or SUBJ_IMP) |
| Number | Number (S for singular, or P for plural) |
| RegularInflection | The regular inflection expected for the dimensions of meaning |
| RuleType | Irregularity class for irregular verbs |
| Regularity | Regular or Irregular marking for the gloss |
| Rule1 | First modification for the irregular gloss |
| Rule2 | Second modification for the irregular gloss |
