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:
<body> <verb lemma='brát' frames='10'> ... <occurence number='54' frame='2'> <sentence>Nebraňte se tolik svému osudu!"</sentence> <sentence>Aidan se odvrátila.</sentence> <sentence>Jeho řeči ji dráždily.</sentence> <sentence is_here='1'><word>Braly</word> jí naději, a toho se děsila.</sentence> </occurence> ... </verb> ... </body>
