[Corpora-List] IcePaHC 0.9. 1 million words of syntactically parsed (hand-corrected) Icelandic

[Anton Karl Ingason]

We are very pleased to announce that version 0.9 of the Icelandic Parsed
Historical Corpus (IcePaHC) is now available for free download.

The corpus can be downloaded from:
www.linguist.is/icelandic_treebank/Download

The corpus is a treebank of over 1 million words in size, annotated for full
phrase structure parse, and hand-corrected, using an adaptation of the
annotation scheme used by the Penn Treebank and the Penn parsed corpora of
historical English (http://www.ling.upenn.edu/hist-corpora/). Note that this
release contains all of the text for version 1.0, but some minor corrections
remain to be finished.

The corpus contains:

- 1 002 361 words total, consisting of ~100 000-word samples from each
century from the 12th to the beginnng of the 21st century.
- Annotated with a phrase structure parse, part-of-speech-tagged, and
lemmatized.
- The entire parse, pos-tagging, and lemmata for every sentence have been
*hand-corrected*.
- Text samples are balanced for genre within each century.
- LGPL license: You are free to copy, modify and redistribute the corpus for
research and/or profit with appropriate citation.

The corpus is distributed as raw UTF-8 data in labeled bracketing format and
it is therefore compatible with various existing programs, including
CorpusSearch (http://corpussearch.sourceforge.net/).

A plain text version without markup and a set of info files containing
philological information accompany the corpus download.

The entire corpus may be downloaded in a plain text version, a
platform-independent GUI, and a Windows-compatible GUI for ease of
searching.
