The role of spatial terms in time expressions: A case study of Chinese temporal words

This project provides the research data, namely all the Chinese temporal words collected from the BCC corpus for The role of spatial terms in time expressions: A case study of Chinese temporal words. There is one table here which includes all tokens taken from the BCC corpus. More specifically, it lists 692 unique Chinese temporal words along with their frequencies. All of these temporal words have been classified into three categories: explicitly spatialized temporal words, implicitly spatialized temporal words, and others. All explicitly spatialized temporal words have been annotated based on the type of spatial terms they are marked with, mainly including location/direction, motion, dimension, objects, deixis, and spatial mixtures.
