A tentative Chinese Dependency Treebank

   We are building a tentative Chinese Dependency Treebank for verifying the coverage and capability of a pure dependency grammar to describe contemporary Chinese. The small treebank will also be used as an experimental means for syntactic study and applications of computational linguistics.

• Current size: 711 sentences, 20034 tokens, POS tagset 24 tags, dependency label tagset 53/34 tags.
• Linguistic format: pure dependency structure.
• License: only for internal use.

• Format:
• plain text with TAB as separator
• TIGER-XML
• Malt-XML
• MS Access database
•  
• Encoding: GB-2312, Unicode

• Contact:
• Prof. Dr. LIU Haitao, Applied Linguistics Department, Communication University of China, CN-100024, Beijing, P.R. China.
