Zero-derived nouns and deverbal nominalization: Databases for English and Italian

This is a collection of deverbal zero-derived nouns with various information on their date of attestation, etymology, frequency, possible interpretations and their ability to realize verbal argument structure. Most of this information is extracted from lexical resources, in particular dictonaries. Examples with argument structure are extracted from natural text corpora. There are four (not exhaustive) collections in total for English, Italian, Spanish and German. The English and the Italian collections follow a parallel structure, while the Spanish and the German one are more targeted on the research purposes of the students who created them.This research was funded by the German Research Foundation via the Project "Zero-derived nouns and deverbal nominalization: An empirically-oriented perspective", project number 404208593 (PI: Dr. Gianina Iordăchioaia), at the University of Stuttgart
