Summary
UD_Alemannic-DIVITAL is a manually corrected treebank of Alemannic Alsatian consisting of sentences from several genres.
Introduction
The corpus consists mostly of Low Alemannic Alsatian sentences. The sentences have been automatically annotated and manually verified.
The
MISCcolumn includes a gloss in French (Gloss[fr]) and a lemma in German (Lemma[de]).Document metadata is included at the beginning of each new document (
#newdoc): author, source, genre, audience, discourse_type, domain, factuality, form, origin, channel, language_variety.For details on the pre-annotation and manual correction process see:
