Subject: The DiGreC Treebank

 
We would like to announce the availability of a new corpus resource, the
DiGreC (Diachrony of Greek Case) treebank. This corpus contains selected
sentences from Greek texts ranging from the 8th century BC to the 17th century
AD, with detailed morphosyntactic and semantic annotation. The data were
collected as part of the project ‘Investigating Variation and Change: Case in
Diachrony’, involving researchers at Ulster University and the University of
Crete and funded by the Arts & Humanities Research Council (AH/P006612/1).  A
primary focus of this project was on the changing syntax of Greek ditransitive
verbs; however, the data collected have the potential to be of use for those
seeking attestations of a wide variety of constructions.

The corpus can be searched through our free web interface at
https://cid.ulster.ac.uk.  The raw data are also available in CSV and XML
format, the latter using a version of the PROIEL schema.  In its current form
the corpus comprises excerpts from 655 texts, for a total of 3385 sentences
and 56,440 word tokens; however, this is an evolving resource and the data set
will continue to expand in future versions.  Detailed specifications are found
in our recently published article:

Macleod, Morgan, Elena Anagnostopoulou, Dionysios Mertyris, and Christina
Sevdali. 2021. “The DiGreC Treebank”. Research Data Journal for the Humanities
and Social Sciences 6.1: 1-12. https://doi.org/10.1163/24523666-06010004.

We hope that this resource will be of value for research on the history of the
Greek language and the various morphosyntactic phenomena that it exemplifies.
