[Corpora-List] German SALSA corpus release 2.0

[Josef Ruppenhofer]

Dear all,

the second and final release of the SALSA corpus, a German corpus with
semantic role annotations in the Berkeley FrameNet paradigm is available for
download at http://www.coli.uni-saarland.de/projects/salsa/corpus/.

The corpus was created by the SALSA project at Saarland University under the
direction of Manfred Pinkal. Work on the corpus was supported by funds from
a Leibniz prize awarded to Manfred Pinkal and by the German Science
Foundation (DFG; grants PI  154/9-3, PI 154/8-1).

The frame semantic annotations are applied on top of the TIGER treebank,
a syntactically annotated German newspaper corpus. Salsa release 2 references
TIGER version 2.1.

More information on TIGER and FrameNet can be found here:

SALSA uses frames of FrameNet releases 1.2 and 1.3 for the German annotation,
wherever available and appropriate. In addition, SALSA has developed a
number of ''proto-frames'', i.e., predicate-specific frames, to provide
coverage for predicate instances currently not covered by FrameNet. The
total size of the annotation is roughly 20.000 verbal instances and, new
in Salsa release 2, more than 17.000 nominal instances.

More information on SALSA can be found on the website:

The annotation scheme is described in:

A. Burchardt, K. Erk, A. Frank, A. Kowalski, S. Pado and M. Pinkal. The
SALSA Corpus: a German Corpus Resource for Lexical Semantics. In:
Proceedings of LREC 2006, Genoa, Italy.
