Abstract:
In this paper we present the Alpino Dependency Treebank and the
tools that we have developed to facilitate the annotation process.
Annotation typically starts with parsing a sentence with the Alpino
parser, a wide coverage parser of Dutch text. The number of parses
that is generated is reduced through interactive lexical analysis
and constituent marking. A tool for on line addition of lexical
information facilitates the parsing of sentences with unknown words.
The selection of the best parse is done efficiently with the parse
selection tool. At this moment, the Alpino Dependency Treebank
consists of about 6,000 sentences of newspaper text that are
annotated with dependency trees. The corpus can be used for
linguistic exploration as well as for training and evaluation
purposes.
