Summary
A Universal Dependencies treebank of post-Rabbinic historical Hebrew, comprising ~300 (~8000 tokens) sentences annotated for morphology and syntax from diverse pre-modern sources.
Introduction
This treebank provides a Universal Dependencies (UD) annotation of post-Rabbinic historical Hebrew, extending existing Hebrew UD resources beyond modern and Biblical-era language varieties.
The dataset consists of manually annotated sentences from historical Hebrew texts across genres and periods. The annotation follows UD v2 guidelines, with adaptations to account for differences in orthography, morphology, and syntax relative to modern Hebrew.
Text sources
The treebank draws on a set of post-Rabbinic Hebrew texts spanning multiple genres and periods, listed below with their identifiers as they appear in the CoNLL-U metadata under each sentences "source" field.
