Swedish treebank
type: Dataset
description: A Swedish treebank built from recycled language resources The Swedish treebank has come about through work by researchers in the Universities at Uppsala (Computational Linguistics, Department of Linguistics and Philology) and Växjö (The Language Technology research group in the School of Mathematics and Systems Engineering). The treebank is the result of the harmonization of the linguistic information in two existing Swedish language resources: Talbanken, a corpus of Swedish written and transcribed spoken language from the 1970s, manually annotated with syntactic information according to a traditional Scandinavian approach SUC2 (Stockholm Umeå Corpus), a morphosyntactically annotated (all corpus words are tagged with part of speech and lemma), balanced corpus of published Swedish written language from the 1990s The harmonization process in brief has been that Talbanken has been annotated with the morphosyntactic tags used in SUC in a semiautomatic process, and both Talbanken and SUC have been automatically syntactically annotated with a phrase structure version of Talbanken's original syntax analysis. This means that we can expect errors in the syntactic annotation, particularly in SUC. A preliminary evaluation of the annotation, presented at a post-conference workshop at SLTC 2008, shows that the syntactic annotation is still very useful in corpus-linguistic investigations. Format, license and distribution Format The Swedish treebank is distributed in the TIGER-XML format, so that the freely available TIGERSearch tool can be used with it. TIGERSearch can be downloaded from Institut für Maschinelle Sprachverarbeitung at the Universitety of Stuttgart. License The treebank part - i.e., the added syntactic annotations - of the Swedish treebank, is free, under an open source license. Talbanken is freely available for research and education purposes, it can be downloaded here SUC requires that each user signs an individual license agreement with the Department of Linguis…
