There are almost 10,000 sentences manually annotated with VALLEX valency frames throughout VALEVAL project. These annotated data are also available in a machine-tractable form. The XML is as simple as it can be (each verb occurence contains a sentence with the verb marked (plus three context sentences) and a correct valency frame assigned). It is ready to use e. g. in machine learning.

An example of 54th occurence of verb "brát", which uses frame #2 out of 10:
