Abstract

This contribution reports on an ongoing analysis of the Pattern Dictionary of English Verbs (PDEV, Hanks 2007b) with respect to both its consistency and reproducibility of use by different users. We address, in particular, the assign-ment of Semantic Type labels to noun collocates of verbs, in a series of experi-ments conducted at the Institute of Formal and Applied Linguistics of the Charles University in Prague.
