# QFrBLiMP Dataset Card
The Quebec-French Benchmark of Linguistic Minimal Pairs (QFrBLiMP).
## Dataset Summary
QFrBLiMP is a corpus designed to evaluate Large Language Models' (LLMs) linguistic knowledge of prominent grammatical phenomena in Quebec-French. It comprises 1,761 minimal pairs annotated with 20 linguistic phenomena (LPs).
Specifically, these minimal pairs have been created by manually modifying sentences extracted from the *Banque de dépannage linguistique* (BDL), an official online resource maintained by the *Office québécois de la langue française* (OQLF). Each pair consists of a grammatical sentence and an ungrammatical one, differing by a minimal edit (e.g., morphology, syntax, or lexical choice). The dataset also includes human annotations from 12 native Quebec-French speakers to compare model competency with human performance.
### Dataset Structure
Each entry represents a minimal pair.
```json
{
"sentence_good": "Après tous ces efforts, elles se sont senties très fatiguées.",
"sentence_bad": "Après tous ces efforts, elles se sont senti très fatiguées.",
"linguistic_phenomenon": "Accords participes passés (Past participle agreements)",
"phenomenon_id": 1,
"source": "Banque de dépannage linguistique (BDL)"
}
```
