Title MAP (Musterbank Argumentmarkierender Präpositionen): A patternbank of argument-marking prepositions in German
Abstract Recent years have seen a growing interest in linguistic phenomena that challenge the received division of labour between lexicon and grammar, and hence often fall through the cracks of traditional dictionaries and grammars. Such phenomena call for novel, pattern­-based types of linguistic reference works (see various papers in Herbst 2019). The present paper introduces one such resource: MAP (“Musterbank argumentmarkierender Präpositionen”), a web-­based corpus-­linguistic pattern-bank of prepositional argument structure constructions in German. The paper gives an overview of the design and functionality of the MAP-­prototype currently developed at the Leibniz-­Institute for the German Language in Mannheim. We give a brief account of the data and our analytic workflow, illustrate the descriptions that make up the resource and sketch available options for querying it for specific lexical, semantic and structural properties of the data.
