[Corpora-List] Searching for NE annotated portuguese corpora...

[Eckhard Bick]

Hello,

I have an internet based search interface for grammatically annotated
corpora at http://corp.hum.sdu.dk, covering Germanic (en, de, da) and
Romance languages (pt, es, fr, eo). The Portuguese Público corpus (from
Linguateca) has been experimentally PALAVRAS-annotated with NE tags, on
top of PoS and syntax. For the time being though, only the latter can be
searched through a menu - NE tags have to be written in the 'extra'
field, or cqp-style: [extra="civ"], making them accessible only to
people who know they are there ... Maybe [extra="civ" & pos="PROP"],
since nouns (N) have semantic categories, too. There is also a
flash-film showing how to use the interface - as well as, of course,
cqp-documentation on the internet.

The major categories are:

hum = person names
org = organisation names
top = natural place names
occ = event, occasion
title = work of art
brand = brand names, things

and the hybrid categories:

civ = civitas (countries, towns etc.): +HUM, +LOC
media = newspapers etc.: +org, +title

Some articles on Danish and Portuguese NE are listed and/or available at
http://beta.visl.sdu.dk/~eckhard/Artikeloversigt.html. Hope it's useful!
