Abstract
This dataset is a collection of Vossian Antonomasia (VA). It comprises 6,096 entries, 3,115 of them contain a VA expression in the associated sentence. When a VA expression exists, the source (`*`), target (`|`), and modifier (`/`) are tagged by surrounding the respective words with the indicated character. Each entry also contains
- a link to the New York Times article that contains the sentence,
- the Wikidata IDs for both, the source and target (if they exist),
- the full target name (if it is mentioned in the corresponding NYT article).
Creation: The dataset has been developed through a series of research papers. Initially, Schwab et al. (2019) created a dataset based on the NYT corpus by Sandhaus (2008) with binary labels, source annotations, and the corresponding Wikidata IDs for sources. The annotation of modifier and target was conducted in Schwab et al. (2022). The extraction of the full target name and the Wikidata ID of the target was performed in Schwab et al. (2023).
