Estonian Double Modal Corpus sentences

It was compiled to investigate the distribution and semantics of double modal constructions in Estonian as part of an MA thesis. The dataset aims to include approximately 30 examples of each double modal verb combination where sufficient corpus data were available.

Each record represents a single sentence and includes the corpus token identifier (toknum), the outer (part1) and inner (part2) modal verbs, the ordering of the outer modal, inner modal, and lexical verb (order), the left and right sentence context surrounding the keyword-in-context span (left, kwic, right), a semantic classification (type, with X indicating an unsuitable or exceptional example), and whether the construction is negated (negation, y = negated, n = not negated).
