Abstract
The paper presents the ongoing process of compilation of a multilingual corpus of illustrative examples to supplement our work on the syntactic and semantic analysis of predicates representing activities in Bulgarian and other languages. The corpus aims to include over 1,000 illustrative examples on verbs from six semantic classes of predicates (verbs of motion, contact, consumption, creation, competition and bodily functions) which provide a basis for observations on the specificity of their realisation. The corpus of illustrative examples will be used for contrastive studies and further elaboration on the scope and behaviour of activity verbs in general, as well as its semantic subclasses.- Anthology ID:
