This resource provides the dataset discussed in Schäfer (2020). Centered on the adjective 'quick', it consists of two core parts: A. Adjective-noun collocations for 'quick' and related adjectives, annotated for the semantic category of the noun. B. Collocations of three of these adjectives in the ADJ-to-INFINITIVAL constructions, and, for 'quick' and 'slow', collocations of their preverbal and postverbal adverb counterparts, 'quickly' and 'slowly'.
The methodology is described in detail in that paper. The corpus used was the Britisch National Corpus (BNC 2007).
The individual files are described in the README file.
