Semantic clause types, also called Situation Entity (SE) types (Smith, 2003) are linguistic characterizations of aspectual properties shown to be useful for tasks like argumentation structure analysis (Becker et al., 2016), genre characterization (Palmer and Friedrich, 2014), and detection of generic and generalizing sentences (Friedrich et al., 2016). We annotate several texts from different genres (newspaper, commentary, argumentative texts, and Wikipedia articles) with Situation Entity types. This data is in German.
