Description Compared to nouns, there are no clear guidelines on what a definition or explanation of a verb should contain. We search corpora for the information present in Czech and English dictionaries to find out if the data is present and, thus, if it can be used as a guideline for assessing the quality of generated definitions. We show that even though a notable portion of the dictionary data is present in corpora, it does not seem frequent or specific enough to be findable with the methods we previously used.
