Abstract
Although several promising initiations have been proposed recently about how to identify personifications, a comprehensive corpus linguistic analysis of personifying meaning generation still have to be carried out. The aim of the paper is twofold: (i) to present an extended version of the PerSE corpus, the language resource for investigating personification in Hungarian; (ii) to explore the semantic and lexicogrammatical patterns of Hungarian personification in a corpus-driven analysis, based on the current version of the research corpus. PerSE corpus is compiled from online available Hungarian texts in different registers including journalistic (car reviews and reports on interstate relations) and academic discourse (original research papers from different fields). The paper provides the reader with the infrastructure and the protocol of the semiautomatic and manual annotation in the corpus. Then it gives an overview of the register-specific distribution of personifications and focuses on some of its lexicogrammatical patterns.
