Treebank: Part 3 (full corpus) v2.0 (MPG + Syntactic Analysis)</a>
supports the development of data-driven approaches to natural language
processing (NLP), human language technologies, automatic content
extraction (topic extraction and/or grammar extraction), cross-lingual
information retrieval, information detection, and other forms of
linguistic research on Modern Standard Arabic in general. The LDC was
sponsored to develop an Arabic POS and Treebank of 1,000,000 words, and
this corpus is part three of that project. In this release, both
syntactic (treebank) annotation and annotation on part of speech (POS),
gloss, and word segmentation are provided.
<br>
<br>
The current Arabic Treebank: Part 3 corpus consists of 600 stories from
the An Nahar News Agency. The new features include complete
vocalization of all Imperfect Verb mood endings: Indicative,
Subjunctive, and Jussive.
