Description

The present release includes a sample treebank of the first twelve chapters of the Classical Armenian translation of the Gospel of Luke (12963 tokens in 648 sentences) as part of the UD Classical Armenian-CAVaL treebank project. It results from a conversion of the PROIEL annotation of the Classical Armenian Gospels, then manually corrected and extended with additional information.

The present release includes a sample treebank of the first ten chapters of the Classical Armenian translation of the Gospel of Luke (10616 tokens in 539 sentences) as part of the UD Classical Armenian-CAVaL treebank project. The treebank results from a conversion of the PROIEL annotation of the Classical Armenian Gospels (https://github.com/proiel/proiel-treebank; see Dag T. T. Haug and Marius L. Jøhndal. 2008. ‘Creating a Parallel Treebank of the Old Indo-European Bible Translations’, in: Caroline Sporleder and Kiril Ribarov (eds.), Proceedings of the Second Workshop on Language Technology for Cultural Heritage Data (LaTeCH 2008) (2008), pp. 27-34). The PROIEL annotation is based on a digitalized version of Beda O. Künzle “Das altarmenische Evangelium” (Bern/Frankfurt am Main/New York: Peter Lang, 1984). The convertion from the PROIEL to UD annotation has been performed using a rule-based convertor developed as part of the “CAVaL: Classical Armenian Valency Lexicon” project, which is carried out at the University of Würzburg and funded by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (PI Petr Kocharov, programmer Lilit Kharatyan). The convertion result has been manually corrected, adjusted to the UD annotation scheme, and extended a few with relation subtypes, spelling in the Armenian alphabet and English glosses.
