This corpus includes Spanish journalistic texts, more precisely, it is a collection of news extracted from El Periódico de Catalunya. It has been manually annotated at a syntactic ( phrases and syntactic function) and semantic level (semantic roles, semantic constructions and sense disambiguation). The corpus has approximately 700.000 words. It contains sentences with the 250 more frequent verbs in Spanish.

The interface (http://grial.uab.es/search) allows simple and advanced searches on the corpus by different fields, including the negative search. The XML corpus can be downloaded.

The corpus is stored in a Mysql database and the interface has been developed in PHP.mponent.

The main innovation is the amount of examples (100 examples for each verb), in addition to the syntactic and semantic annotation, since there are few corpus annotated with such information.

The Corpus has been developed with the Sensem project: Banco de datos sintáctico y semántico del español. 2004-2006 – Ministerio de Ciencia y Tecnología (BFF2003-06456) and at this moment it is under development thanks to the project: Ampliación de la BD léxica y el corpus sintáctico-semántico de semántica oracional del español SenSem Ministerio de educación y Ciencia HUM2007-65267
