MegaIntensionality

The MegaIntensionality dataset is a part of the MegaAttitude project. It consists of slider-based judgments of doxastic and balletic inferences for 725 finite clause-embedding verbs of English with a variety of subordinate clause structures, matrix tenses, and matrix subjects. The dataset is used to study lexically triggered inferences related to predicates' intensional properties, particularly those related to the belief or desire of one or both participants. These inferences are of interest due to the patterns that emerge in how the inferences are affected by contexts such as negation.
