1. **[A Corpus of Non-Native Written English Annotated for Metaphor](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/klebanov-2018-corpus-non-native-written-english/)** *(2018 · 45 citations)* Supervised metaphor detection has mostly been trained and tested on the VUA corpus, which draws on BNC text.
2. **[A Benchmark Corpus of English Misspellings and a Minimally-supervised Model for Spelling Correction](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/flor-2019-benchmark-corpus-english-misspellings-minimally/)** *(2019 · 39 citations)* Non-word spelling correction has a long research history, but systems have mostly been tested on synthetic typos or closed datasets, so results are hard to compare.
3. **[A Survey of Idiom Datasets for Psycholinguistic and Computational Research](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/flor-2025-survey-idiom-datasets-psycholinguistic-computational/)** *(2025 · 5 citations)* Idioms are hard for NLP systems and tricky for human experiments. Their figurative sense often cannot be derived from the component words, and one phrase can be literal in one context and figurative in another. Resources for studying idioms come from two fields and vary in annotation, languages, idiom types and size…
