[Corpora-List] Syntactically parsed Tagalog corpus

[Eric Atwell]

Sebastian,

a quick Google search for "Tagalog corpus" shows research where Tagalog 
web-pages have been compiled into a corpus; and/or you could do this
yourself, using a web-crawler corpus-builder such as WebBootCat
available via SketchEngine website (see previous posts on this to
CORPORA).  BUT I will be very surprised if you find a Tagalog Treebank
- parsing/treebanking is a big undertaking, so I'm sure if anyone has
   done this they would publish results on the WWW.

But you should ask youself: do you really need a parsed corpus to answer
your research question(s)? A parsed corpus is most often used to train a
machine-learning NLP system, but I don't think you're doing machine
learning, are you?

What do psycholingusits do when studying sentence processing in other
non-European languages?  I guess few languages outside the "top 20" have
treebanks available for psycholinguisrtic study, so is there an
alternaitve approach used by others in your field?

good luck
