TamilTB: An Effort Towards Building a Dependency Treebank for Tamil

Original language description

Annotated corpora such as treebanks are important for the development of parsers, language applications as well as understanding of the language itself. Only very few languages possess these scarce resources. In this paper, we describe our effort in syntactically annotating a small corpora (600 sentences) of Tamil language. Our annotation is similar to Prague Dependency Treebank (PDT 2.0) and consists of 2 levels or layers: (i) morphological layer (m-layer) and (ii) analytical layer (a-layer). For boththe layers, we introduce annotation schemes i.e. positional tagging for m-layer and dependency relations (and how dependency structures should be drawn) for a-layers. Finally, we evaluate our corpora in the tagging and parsing task using well known taggers and parsers and discuss some general issues in annotation for Tamil language.
