Tore-Klose: Record Scorer, Goal Hunter, Machine? Human Association Norms for German Personal Name Compounds

Abstract
We present a collection of human association norms to German personal name compounds (PNCs) such as “Tore-Klose” (goal-Klose) and corresponding full names (Miroslav Klose), thus providing a novel testbed for PNC evaluation, i.e., analogical vs. contrastive positive vs. negative perception effects. The associations are obtained in an online experiment with German native speakers, analyzed regarding our novel intertwined PNC–person association setup, and accompanied by an LLM synthetic generation approach for augmentation.
