[Corpora-List] Corpora with annotated definite, indefinite and generic noun phrases

[Klutsch, Angela]

Dear Corpora List-members,

 

For my PhD, I am searching for a corpus with annotated definite,
indefinite and generic noun phrases in German (or English). 

 

Do you know some corpora and treebanks preferably in German, where
definite, indefinite and generic noun phrases are annotated? 

I already know the TIGER treebank, but there are two problems with
TIGER. First TIGER does not distinguish between definite and indefinite
articles or definite, indefinite and generic noun phrases, so I would
have to annotate on my own. Second the TIGER corpus only contains
articles of newspapers. The amount of generic noun phrases in the TIGER
corpus is much too small. A corpus which contains other types of texts
(i.e. encyclopaedic entries, probably wikipedia) would be better for my
research, because in such texts there are much more generic noun
phrases. 

 

If you know a corpus that probably helps me or have a hint, please
answer. I am looking forward to hear from you.
