Abstract: We are presenting VPS-30-En, a small lexical resource that contains the following 30 English verbs: access, ally, arrive, breathe, claim, cool, crush, cry, deny, enlarge, enlist, forge, furnish, hail, halt, part, plough, plug, pour, say, smash, smell, steer, submit, swell, tell, throw, trouble, wake and yield.We have created and have been using VPS-30-En to explore the interannotator agreement potential of the Corpus Pattern Analysis.VPS-30-En is a small snapshot of the Pattern Dictionary of English Verbs (Hanks and Pustejovsky, 2005), which we revised (both the entries and the annotated concordances) and enhanced with additional annotations.It is freely available at http://ufal.mff.cuni.cz/spr.In this paper, we compare the annotation scheme of VPS-30-En with the original PDEV.We also describe the adjustments we have made and their motivation, as well as the most pervasive causes of interannotator disagreements.
