As part of the Semantic Network of Adposition and Case Supersenses (SNACS) project, I managed annotation of prepositional meanings in English data from Summer 2019 through Summer 2020.

While I was working on SNACS, we annotated two different corpora:

  • The PASTRIE Corpus of Reddit L2 English data, presented at LAW 2020. This allows us to investigate how speakers with different first languages use prepositions in English.
  • The English translation of The Little Prince.
