Abstract

We introduce ParaBLoCC, the Parallel Basic Locative Construction Corpus, the first multilingual compendium of this important grammatico-functional construction, and particularly the first such corpus containing semantically equivalent BLCs in source/target language pairs. The data – taken from bitext corpora in English paired with twenty-six typologically diverse languages – are likely to prove useful for studying questions of cognitive underpinnings and cross-linguistic usage patterns of spatial expressions, as well as for improving multilingual spatial relation extraction and related tasks. The data are being made available at https://github.com/pviechnicki/parablocc.
