| ### Dataset Summary | |
| Catalan word lists with part of speech labeling curated by humans. Contains 1 180 773 forms including verbs, nouns, adjectives, names or toponyms. These word lists are used to build applications like Catalan spellcheckers or verb querying applications. | |
| ### Supported Tasks and Leaderboards | |
| This dataset can be used for Catalan morphological lookup, spell-checking resources, grammar-checking resources, lexicon construction, and linguistic preprocessing. It is not associated with a public leaderboard. | |
| ### Languages | |
| Catalan (`ca`). | |
| ## Dataset Structure | |
| The dataset contains 3 columns: | |
| * Form (e.g. cantaré) | |
| * Lemma (e.g. cantar) | |
| * POS tag (e.g. VMIF1S00) | |
| You can have the meaning of the POS tag [here](./tagset.md). | |
| ### Data Instances | |
| Each instance represents a Catalan word form with its lemma and part-of-speech or morphological tag. For example, an entry may contain an inflected form, the corresponding lemma, and a POS tag in the tagset used by the source dictionary tooling. | |
| ### Data Fields | |
| The logical fields are: | |
| * `form`: surface form. | |
| * `lemma`: base form or lemma. | |
| * `pos_tag`: part-of-speech or morphological tag. | |
| Depending on how the dataset is loaded, each row may be exposed as a raw text line containing these three values. | |
| ### Data Splits | |
| The dataset provides a single `train` split. | |
| ## Dataset Creation | |
| ### Curation Rationale | |
| The data is maintained as a reusable Catalan lexical and morphological resource for building spell checkers, grammar checkers, and related language tools. | |
| ### Source Data | |
| #### Initial Data Collection and Normalization | |
| The source repository contains the root dictionary data used by Softcatala to build Catalan dictionaries for Hunspell and LanguageTool. The root dictionary is organized by grammatical categories. Some files contain pseudodictionary information for inflection, while others use the LanguageTool/Freeling-style tag format. | |
| #### Who are the source language producers? | |
| The lexical data is maintained by Softcatala contributors and dictionary maintainers. | |
| ### Annotations | |
| #### Annotation process | |
| Entries are manually curated with lemma and part-of-speech or morphological information. The tags follow the conventions used by the source Catalan dictionary tooling and related LanguageTool/Freeling resources. | |
| #### Who are the annotators? | |
| Softcatala contributors and dictionary maintainers. | |
| ### Personal and Sensitive Information | |
| The dataset is a lexical resource. It may include proper names and toponyms as dictionary entries, but it does not contain definitions or user-generated personal records. | |
| ## Considerations for Using the Data | |
| ### Social Impact of Dataset | |
| The dataset supports Catalan spell checking, grammar checking, morphological processing, and other Catalan language technology. | |
| ### Discussion of Biases | |
| Coverage reflects the editorial and practical goals of the source dictionary tools. Some domains, named entities, dialectal forms, or neologisms may be underrepresented or absent. | |
| ### Other Known Limitations | |
| The dataset is not a semantic dictionary and does not provide definitions, examples of use, frequency information, or complete syntactic behavior. Reusers need to understand the POS tagset to interpret the tags correctly. | |
