Data

Data module

This project delivers a new data module with verbal valence data, to be used alongside the core ETCBC data set of the Hebrew Bible bhsa.

The new module resides in this repository, at this location.

Feature description

Here is a description of the new data features.

name	workflow	values	description
cfunction	correction	undefined, empty or values as in function	corrected phrase function, only defined for phrases that occur in a correction sheet, empty if no correction has been entered in that sheet, otherwise a valid phrase function code
f_correction	correction	undefined, empty, or y	only defined for phrases that occur in a correction sheet, empty if no correction has been entered in that sheet, y otherwise
s_manual	enrichment	undefined, empty, or y	only defined for phrases that occur in a enrichment sheet, empty if no enrichment has been entered in that sheet, y otherwise
predication	enrichment	see table predication below	main classification of the verbal function
valence	enrichment	see table valence below	main classification of the verbal valence
grammatical	enrichment	see table grammatical below	indicates that the constituent is subject or object, with a fine distinction between kinds of objects
original	enrichment	see table grammatical below	as grammatical, but these are default values, before more sophisticated enrichment logic has been applied
lexical	enrichment	see table lexical below	indicates that the constituent carries certain semantic characteristics based on lexical information
semantic	enrichment	see table semantic below	indicates that the constituent carries certain semantic characteristics, based on other than lexical information

Annotation set

We have bulk-uploaded a set of annotations to the website SHEBANQ. This set is a CSV file in this repo.

It has a row for each assignment of a sense label to a verb. The fields of the rows adhere to a format specified by SHEBANQ.

The text of each annotation specifies

• the verb occurrence;
• the sense label of the verb in this context;
• a link to the flowchart of this verb if there is one, otherwise a link to the legend of sense labels;
• a list with the names and values of the key constituents on which the choice of sense label has been based.

All constituents are given as a number referring to a phrase or clause in the context and a sequence of glosses in English.
