The Norwegian Dependency Treebank (NDT) is a new syntactic treebank for Norwegian Bokmål and Nynorsk, the two written standards of Norwegian. It contains approximately 600,000 tokens, equally distributed between Norwegian Bokmål and Nynorsk, manually annotated with pos-tags, morphological features, syntactic functions and dependency graphs. 

The NDT is developed at the National Library of Norway in collaboration with the University of Oslo, and is the first publically available treebank for Norwegian Bokmål and Nynorsk. This release of the NDT contains detailed annotation guidelines in English and Norwegian.

The LINGUIST List is under the umbrella of Eastern Michigan University and as such can receive donations through the EMU Foundation, which is a registered 501(c) Non Profit organization. Our Federal Tax number is 38-6005986. These donations can be offset against your federal and sometimes your state tax return (U.S. tax payers only). For more information visit the IRS Web-Site, or contact your financial advisor.

Many companies also offer a gift matching program, such that they will match any gift you make to a non-profit organization. Normally this entails your contacting your human resources department and sending us a form that the EMU Foundation fills in and returns to your employer. This is generally a simple administrative procedure that doubles the value of your gift to LINGUIST, without costing you an extra penny. Please take a moment to check if your company operates such a program.

Thank you very much for your support of LINGUIST!
