[Corpora-List] Merging verb phrase ellipsis annotations with the WSJ treebank

[E. Alan Hogue]

Hello Corpora List,

As you may know, not long ago this article was published:

Bos, J., & Spenader, J. (2011). An annotated corpus for the analysis of VP
ellipsis. Language Resources and Evaluation, 45(4), 463–494.
doi:10.1007/s10579-011-9142-3

Along with this, the authors made available a file of standoff annotation
based on the raw version (non-parsed, non-tagged) of the WSJ in the Penn
Treebank.

I am currently trying to figure out the best way to merge or align this
with the _parsed_ version of the WSJ, and this is turning out to be
trickier than I expected. It occurs to me that this might in general be a
problem someone else has solved before.

Does anyone know of any code, modules, packages, algorithms, tricks, etc
that already do a good job of this type of thing, and which I might modify
for this particular task? If it happens to be in Python that is a plus, but
just about any language/platform will do.

Thank you!
