[Corpora-List] German SALSA Corpus Release 1.0

[Aljoscha Burchardt]

Dear colleagues,

a new German corpus with role semantic annotation in the Berkeley FrameNet
paradigm is availab le at www.coli.uni-saarland.de/projects/salsa/corpus/.

The corpus is provided by Manfred Pinkal's Saarbruecken SALSA project,
funded by German Science Foundation (DFG). It is based on TIGER, a
syntactically annotated German newspaper corpus.

More information on TIGER and FrameNet can be found here:

http://framenet.icsi.berkeley.edu

SALSA uses the frames of FrameNet release 1.2 for the German annotation,
wherever available an d appropriate. In addition, SALSA has developed a
number of "proto-frames", i.e., predicate-spec ific frames, to provide
coverage for predicate instances currently not covered by FrameNet. The
tot al size of the annotation is currently roughly 20.000 verbal
instances.

More information on SALSA can be found on the website

The annotation scheme is described in
