Xposition

Xposition (URL forthcoming) is a multilingual database of the semantics of adpositions (prepositions, postpositions) and case markers. Semantic information is primarily categorized in terms of coarse-grained supersenses. The database is designed to support corpus annotation.

Xposition is the successor to PrepWiki, which was limited to English prepositions and used an earlier inventory of supersenses.

Languages

Initial languages:

• English
• Hebrew (Modern)
• Hindi
• Korean

If you would like to contribute to these or other languages, let us know.
