Dear TIGER team,
Thank you for the wealth of information you put on-line in connection with
the TIGER project.
In this connection, we would also like to inform you that there is ongoing a
project for the creation of a treebank for Portuguese, the Floresta
Sintá(c)tica project,
http://cgi.portugues.mct.pt/treebank/PaginaFloresta.html (a joint project
having as partners VISL http://visl.sdu.dk/ and the Computational Processing
of Portuguese project http://www.portugues.mct.pt/).
From our pages, we also make available a sampler and documentation on
general and specific linguistic options taken. We have also developed a
special querying tool for the syntactically annotated trees, on top of the
IMS Corpus Workbench developed by the IMS at the University of Stuttgart.
This is work in progress, but can be tested at
http://cgi.portugues.mct.pt/treebank/ProcuraArvores.html
I should also recall that the Computational Processing of Portuguese also
gives access to several millions of (automatically) syntactically annotated
words through the AC/DC project (again in joint work with VISL), at
http://cgi.portugues.mct.pt/acesso.
We would therefore be grateful if you updated your "related links" page
accordingly.
I use this opportunity to also inform the corpora community at large,
although most of the Web pages referred to are (so far) only in Portuguese.
Best greetings,
Diana (for the Floresta and AC/DC teams)

> The TIGER corpus is annotated with 'syntax graphs', a
> generalization of
> syntax trees, in order to be able to account for phenomena involving
> discontinuous constituents. E.g.
> - long distance dependencies are encoded by crossing edges
> - coreference in coordination is represented by 'secondary edges'
> More details of the annotation scheme are available online,
> where you can
> also explore the TIGER corpus sampler interactively.
