Lists of Finnish verbs of thinking, emotion, and speech acts

This data set has been produced for the purposes of developing computational narrative detection methods for political language use. Verbs were collected from a interview corpus of former MPs in the Finnish Parliament*, approximately 4500 extracted verb lexemes (see Andrushchenko et al.2021). The semantic classification - cognitive processing (n=96), emotion (n=277), and speech acts (n=300) - is based on the theoretical framework of lexical argument structures (see e.g. Rappaport Hovav and Levin 2015; Pajunen 2001).
