Corpora: German treebank sampler

[TIGER corpus team]

The TIGER German treebank sampler has been released!
----------------------------------------------------

A large syntactically annotated corpus of German newspaper text
is under construction in the TIGER project - with project partners
in Saarbruecken, Potsdam, and Stuttgart.

In order to get feedback from the research community, the TIGER project team
has released a sampler of the TIGER corpus:

The TIGER corpus is annotated with 'syntax graphs', a generalization of
syntax trees, in order to be able to account for phenomena involving
discontinuous constituents. E.g.
- long distance dependencies are encoded by crossing edges
- coreference in coordination is represented by 'secondary edges'
More details of the annotation scheme are available online, where you can
also explore the TIGER corpus sampler interactively.
