Towards a multi-layered dependency annotation of Finnish
Alicia Burga, Simon Mille, Anton Granvik, Leo Wanner · 2015
We present a dependency annotation scheme for Finnish which aims at respecting the multilayered nature of language. We first tackle the annotation of surfacesyntactic structures (SSyntS) as inspired by the Meaning-Text framework. Exclusively syntactic criteria are used when defining the surface-syntactic relations tagset. Our annotation scheme allows for a direct mapping between surface-syntax and a more semantics-oriented representation, in particular predicate-argument structures. It has been applied to a corpus of Finnish, composed of 2,025 sentences related to weather conditions.
