## Introduction |
|
|
|
The Spanish Corpus of Linguistic Acceptability (EsCoLA) includes 11,174 sentences taken from linguistic literature with a binary annotation made by the original authors themselves. The work is inspired by CoLA: https://nyu-mll.github.io/CoLA/# |

# Data format |
|
|
|
EsCoLA dataset is split into two subsets: an in-domain subset (InDomain) with 10,567 sentences, and an out-of-domain subset (OutDomain) with 607 sentences. |
|
The in-domain subset has been split into train/dev/test sections: |
|
|
|
train: 8454 sentences |
|
|
|
dev: 1053 sentences |
|
|
|
test: 1060 sentences |
|
|
|
|
|
And the out-of-domain subset is split into dev/test sections. The test sets are not made public. |
|
|
|
For the in-domain subset, each line in the .tsv files consists of 11 tab-separated columns: |
|
|
|
Column 1: a unique ID |
|
Column 2: the source of the sentence |
|
Column 3: the acceptability judgment label from the source (0=unacceptable, 1=acceptable) |
|
Column 4: the source's annotation (* for the unacceptable sentences) |
|
Columns 5, 6 and 7: the human annotations |
|
Column 8: the human annotations' median |
|
Column 9: the sentence |
|
Column 10: the category of the linguistic phenomenon the sentence is an example of |
|
Column 11: the split to which the sentence belongs |
|
|
|
For the out-of-domain, each line in the .tsv file consists of 6 tab-separated columns: |
|
|
|
Column 1: a unique ID |
|
Column 2: the source of the sentence |
|
Column 3: the acceptability judgment label from the source (0=unacceptable, 1=acceptable) |
|
Column 4: the source's annotation (* for the unacceptable sentences) |
|
Column 5: the sentence |
|
Column 6: the category of the linguistic phenomenon the sentence is an example of |
|
|

# Processing |
|
|
|
During the gathering of the data and their processing, some sentences from the source documents may have been omitted or altered. We discarded examples marking dubious acceptability with "?" or other signs, but those examples that included acceptability alternations were taken by creating the two versions: the acceptable and the unacceptable sentence. Finally, the examples that were not full sentences, that is, that contain no main verb, were manually edited to add a neutral verb to convert them into sentences, while keeping the acceptability value. |

# Annotation |
|
|
|
The dataset has been manually annotated with 14 linguistic phenomena. |
|
|
|
1. Simple |
|
2. Predicative |
|
3. Adjuncts |
|
4. Argument types |
|
5. Argument alternation |
|
6. Binding pronouns |
|
7. Wh-phenomena |
|
8. Complement clauses |
|
9. Modal, negation, periphrasis and auxiliaries |
|
10. Infinitive embedded VPs and referential phenomena |
|
11. Complex NPs and APs |
|
12. S-Syntax |
|
13. Determiners, quantifiers, comparative and superlative constructions |
|
14. Spanish phenomena The Spanish phenomena have been classified into 6 categories: |
|
14.1. Agreement in nominal constructions |
|
14.2. Subjunctive mode and tense |
|
14.3. Spurious preposition for completive clauses ('dequeismo') |
|
14.4. Subject ellipsis |
|
14.5. Pronominal cliticization |
|
14.6. Ser/estar copula selection |
|
